Abstract: The solution to a paradox should expound laws of a true or false paradox, but not determine whether it is specifically true or false. The linguistic contextual change solution is a new solution to a paradox. Differing from a traditional solution, it focuses on mutual relations of meaning and true value both in a normal sentence and in a paradoxical sentence so as to solve a paradox. Such a solution is closely in accordance with people’s intuition and has a natural advantage.

Key words: linguistic context, change, paradox, meaning, true value
