Abstract
The purpose of the present study, therefore, is to research the signified loanwords found in current newspapers. More specifically, answer to the following questions are to be discovered: 1. How extensive is the standardization of the conventional translation or transliteration of English loanwords in Chinese in terms of explicative hybrid, loan-blend, independent hybrid, word-for-word translation, descriptive translation, and doublet? 2. What kind of proportion of these English loanwords in Chinese exist in selected newswriting in terms of the socio-political, technical-scientific, scholarly, sports, and business-economic terminology?
