It is of great value to sociolinguists who are concerned about the impact of the Internet on language in general and on individual languages in particular. The net catchwords, as an indispensable part of internet language, have caught both mass and scholarly attention. They represent not only a linguistic phenomenon but also an indispensable social component. This study offers a detailed description of net catchwords and focuses on the sociolinguistic aspects of net catchwords, investigating their features and social ground for their widespread and profound influence on people's life and language development. It is reasonably hoped that this study will nourish the sociolinguistic approach to language variety and language change.展开更多

It reflects the issues that interest people a lot in a period of time of a country or an area. Different catchwords act as the mirror of social changes, which seems to be sensitive nerve of human life. Nowadays a new gender image— the neutral gender identity is constructed in social intercourse when the speakers choose certain kinds of method for establishment of a distinct identity. The study will demonstrate that the Chinese are of no exception, especially their phatic communion online. People show neutral linguistic characters to construct untypical male or female identity—the neutral gender identity is under construction, which demonstrates the interactive nature between language and gender and enriches sociolinguistic research.展开更多
