从模因论看英源类词缀的衍生机制——基于“XX门”词族的个案分析

Memetic Exploration of Chinese Affixoid Borrowed from English——A Case Study of the Word Family XX-men

模因是文化传播的基本单位,是一种与自然遗传基因相类似的现象。英源类词缀"门"的产生得益于外来语素-"gate"在模因的同化、记忆、表达和传播四个阶段中的胜出。"门"词族在现代汉语中的广泛应用,体现了人类通过模仿和复制来传递思想、交流信息的根本需要。语言模因将进化论的思维方式应用于语言分析,对类词缀的衍生机制做出了深刻的阐释。

A meme is an element of cultural communication,a phenomenon which is similar to the heredity of natural genes.The foreign morpheme ＂-gate＂ has successfully passed the four phases of the meme＇s duplication（i.e.assimilation,memorization,expression and communication） and became a dominant meme,resulting in the formation of affixoid ＂-门＂ in Chinese.The extensive application of XX-menwords in Chinese language has reflected the fundamental need of human＇s communication and exchanging ideas.Linguistic memetics has demonstrated a profound explanation on Chinese affixoid borrowed from English.
