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 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

Maybe only the emergence of the systems of writing and the invention of printing can be claimed to have contributed more to the way language is used and perceived. Numerous publications have been devoted to the new forms of language thriving in the cyberspace. The present study focuses on one of the countless micro-genres which we may encounter while surfing the web： the LOLspeak. Its major peculiarity lies in the deliberate departure from the standard conventions related to grammar and orthography. At first sight, this new code of communication could puzzle and put off an average user, but upon closer inspection it turns out that there is some order in this apparent chaos and that there are certain limits to the deviations applied by ardent followers of LOLspeak. Our major aim was to propose a preliminary list of certain regularities characterizing this new form of linguistic creativity. It is by no means exhaustive, as the investigation is based on a relatively small corpus, but it suggests a certain direction for the future investigation of this very interesting phenomenon.展开更多
