双语表情包中英、汉语的形式特征与话语分工

Representative Forms and Functions of Chinese andEnglish Discourse in Bilingual Memes

基于话语分析法,以虚拟网络空间中的英汉双语表情包语料为研究对象的解释性研究发现,双语表情包中英语和汉语的表现形式各自发生了不同特征的变异,具体表现为7种话语形式。英语的变异形式为汉语化英语,即英语表征呈现出语法失调和语码转换特点,语法失调的程度又决定了变异程度;汉语的变异形式为碎片化与网络语言化,具体表现为句子短小、网络热点词的频繁使用以及标点符号的缺失。同时,英汉双语间不同的表现形式匹配了不同的话语分工,英语具有延异性功能,而汉语具有趋同性功能。英汉双语的整合性并置创造了英汉双语表情包全新的语言变异景观。
