从语义演变看网络用语“造作”的出现

On the Emergence of the Use of the Network Term “Zao Zuo” from the Semantic Evolution

检视"造作"从古到今的语料,发现其语源义发生了演变:"造作"一词在初始义"制作"的基础上,引申为"伪造""做作"义,感情色彩由中性变为贬义,发展至今"做作"义成为主流。"造作"近年来衍生出网络新义,表示"调侃、及时行乐、享受生活"的意味,感情色彩又由贬义转为中性。"造作"网络新义出现的原因是词性色彩的转变、求新求异的心理和生活压力的释放。

By examining the corpus of Chinese word “zao zuo” from ancient times to today, it is found that its etymology has evolved. On the basis of the initial meaning of “production”, the meaning of the word is extended to “forgery” and “pretitation”, and the emotional color changes from neutral to derogatory. From now on, its mainstream meaning has become “pretending”. In recent years, the word has spawned a new meaning of the Internet, expressing ridicule, timely pleasure, and enjoying the meaning of life. The emotional color has changed from derogatory to neutral. The paper finds that the reason for the emergence of the new meaning of the Internet is the transformation of part of speech color, the psychology of seeking new differences and the release of life pressure.
