Abstract

According to the dimensions of communication object, channel and range, Chinese catchwords can be divided into campus catchwords, social catchwords, network catchwords, general catchwords, etc. Each type has distinct characteristics, such as rapid change, creative diversity, and keeping pace with the times. From the perspectives of theoretical linguistics, professional linguistics, diachronic linguistics and consensus linguistics, this work studied the domain composition of Chinese catchwords in current foreign English linguistic research. Based on comparative linguistics, structural linguistics and transformational generative linguistics, the value change of Chinese catchwords in foreign English linguistics research was studied. Exploring the composition and value evolution of Chinese catchwords in current foreign English linguistics research is conductive to exploring the international value of Chinese catchwords, and enhancing the influence of Chinese and Chinese culture behind them.
