模因论视域下网络语言变异研究

Research on Network Language Variation in the Perspective of Memetics

近年来,网络语言的研究集中在社会语言学、语境、句法、文化心理、语言适应理论和认知角度。研究者重点关注网络语言的词汇特征,包括其中英文形式的优缺点、特殊的构词形式,网络语言变异的社会心理原因及其对社会的影响等。然而,作为人类社会重要的热点现象,网络语言变异的复制和传播在很大程度上会被忽略。在现有研究基础上进一步加强描写性研究与解释性研究,力争在兼顾描写系统性的前提下,通过语言现象生成原理进行分析,可以发现基于模因论视域下网络语言变异的结构生成原理。基于前人的研究,有必要从一个不同的角度——模因论视角研究网络语言的变化。

In recent years, the research on social linguistics focuses on the aspects of social linguistics, context, syntax, cultural psychology, language adaptation theory and cognition. The researchers give stress on the lexical features of network language including the advantages and disadvantages of English and Chinese forms, special forms of word formation, social psychological reasons for network language variation as well as its influence on society. However, as the important and hot issue in human society, the replication and spreading of network language variation has been ignored to a large extent. It is necessary to further strengthen the descriptive and explanatory study based on the existing research. Under the premise of striving to give consideration on systemic description and though analyzing the generating principle of the language phenomenon, it is hopeful that the principle of structure generation on network language variation can be found in the perspective of memetics. Based on the predecessors＇ research, it is necessary to study network language variation from a different perspective-memetics.
