语言模因复制和传播的社会心理研究

Study on Replication and Transmission of Linguistic Memes from a Socio-psychological Point of View

模因是一种文化信息单位,语言是模因复制和传播的载体。一种模因要被人们普遍地模仿,必须具有实用性、合理性、时尚性和权威性等特性或其中的一种。然而,复制和传播语言模因是客观社会现象的主观反映,是一种主动行为,除了必须具有其本身的特性外,它的成功复制和传播更多地受人的心理因素的支配。文章拟从社会心理学的视角分析社会心理对语言模因复制和传播的影响,以求对语言模因现象的本质有一个较为全面的认识,为我们的外语教学问题提供一种新的研究思路。

A meme is a unit of cultural information and language is one form of their carriers. If generally imitated, a meme must have characteristics such as function, rationality, vogue, and authority, etc. or one of them. However, its replication and transmission is the subjective reflection of social phenomena, and it is a kind of active behavior. In addition to their characteristics, linguistic memes in the process of replication and transmission are influenced heavily by human mental factors. The text analyses the influence of social psychology on the replication and transmission of linguistic memes from a socio- psychological point of view to have a thorough understanding of the essence of linguistic memes and provide a kind of new perspective on our foreign language teaching.
