从“模因论”的角度看现代汉语新词的不断涌现

On Emergence of New Vocabulary in Modern Chinese from Perspective of "Meme Theory"

"模因"就是像基因一样能够不断复制的语言文化因子。现代汉语随着社会和科技发展、信息传播技术的先进、各种文化交流的快捷,复制出越来越多的新的语词。笔者着重从移植、嫁接和语词变形三方面大量列举了模因出的新词,指出语言模因信息可以以不同形式不断复制,在复制过程中,不仅不同文化之间进行了交流,而且新的语词也在不断产生。

A meme, a language or culture unit, can keep on copying itself, just like a gene. Due to the rapid development of society and science, with advanced information technology and convenient cultural exchange, more and more new words have been duplicated in modem Chinese. The paper focuses on the duplication of new words from memes through three methods： transplantation, grafting and deformation. It is pointed out that meme information in language can be copied in various forms, and the copying process results in the exchange of different cultures as well as the occurrence of new words.
