Owing to its distinctive features, the Internet language draws extensive attention and evokes dispute. Should we make laws to restrict its development or be magnanimous and tolerant? The present authors think that the dispute reflects the clash between the traditional culture and the "fast food" culture. The two cultures would co-exist harmoniously and co-develop healthily only if we cherish the law in the development of language and grasp the indirect correlation between them.展开更多

It is a social and linguistic phenomenon which has its own stylistic and rhetoric patterns and styles compared with other languages.The reasons for the emergence of Internet language can be summarised into three kinds: firstly, the netizens need distinct languages to show their personalities and enhance the impacts of languages such as sadness, angriness and happiness; secondly, the keyboard makes it hard to type the whole sentences when people online chatting or other activities; lastly, it is fast and convenient,especially when some online activities are time-consuming. Internet languages make the most use of the functions of linguistic deviation and satisfy the psychological and practical needs of netizens.展开更多

In fact, different theories and methodologies can support to explain the phenomenon of the Internet language. Furthermore, language and identity in sociolinguistic domain can help study the relationship between the Internet language and its users.

To achieve accurate assessment, the system adopted a comprehensive method which combines semantic scoring with keyword matching scoring. Four kinds of words-verbs, adjectives, adverbs and "the rest" including nouns, pronouns, idioms, prepositions, etc., are identified after parsing. The system treats different words tagged with different part of speech differently. Then it calculated the semantic similarity between these words of the standard versions and those of students' translations by the distinctive differences of the semantic features of these words with the aid of HowNet. The first semantic feature of verbs and the last semantic features of adjectives and adverbs are calculated. "The rest" is scored by keyword matching. The experiment results show that the semantic scoring system is applicable in fulfilling the task of scoring students' on-line English-Chinese translations.展开更多
