With the social change, appellations have the phenomenon of expanding the scope of use or transferring the meaning. Based on the perspective of sociolinguistics, this paper takes the appellation “Da Xiongdi” as an example to analyze. This paper is divided into three parts to investigate the symmetric predicate “Da Xiongdi”. Firstly, the semantic interpretation of “Da Xiongdi” is carried out. At present, due to the influence of metaphor mechanism, the derogatory meanings in its semantics are increasingly clear. Secondly, the semantic generalization of “Da Xiongdi” is analyzed. Finally, from the internal change and external evolution of language, this paper discusses the generalization motivation of “Da Xiongdi” appellation words.

In this respect, address forms are socially driven phenomena which make the fundamental point in sociolinguistics clearly. The attempt of this study will be made to discuss the impact of the cultures, especially people in America and China. Mainly, the paper is pertinent to ask some questions: (1) whether there are any different pronouns of address used in different cultures, (2) the discrepancy of forms of address used in America and China and how interlocutors used them respectively and (3) are there any semantic systems presented in both two cultures based upon interlocutors' social position and cultural background.展开更多
