从模因论看网络新词语的构词特点

网络的普及导致一些网络词语迅速流行，这些网络流行词语在构词方面具有类比词和谐音词占主流、字母数字和图形符号混用等特点。按照模因论的观点，网络词语的流行相当于语言模因的复制与传播，模因、特别是强势模具有的变异性、时尚性是形成网络流行语构词特点的的内在动因。

The Formation Features of Cyber Catchwords from the Memetic Perspective

Cyber catchwords, which result from the popularity of internet, are featured in their formation as follows: 1) analogy and homophone as a predominant formation means; 2) emergence in large numbers of such new types of lexical terms as rapid growth of foreign compound words, and 3) mixture of pinyin, letters and figures. This research concludes that the prevalence of cyber catchwords can be contributed to the copy and spread of linguistic memes. The variability and the trendiness function as the underlying causes for the growing popularity of such catchwords.
