Abstract
Searle believes that language meaning is determined by intentional states, and is hugely influenced by social rules and communicators’ mental capabilities, concluding his Network-Background Theory in his discussion of Intentionality. Contemporary Chinese political discourse has its own distinctiveness, and is especially featured by increasing political neologisms, posing difficulties for interpreters and for China’s international publicity. Interpreting of Chinese political neologisms, also for the purpose of conveying language meaning can gain guidance from Searle’s Network-Background Theory. This paper elaborates through exemplification on strategies for interpreting political neologisms in light of Searle’s theory.
