Chinese is a special language which reflects the social life and cultural style of China, consequently, Chinese network new words could be pided into three parts。 First, the creation of new words, such as “Tucao”, “geilivable”。 Second, the new use of old words, such as “push”, “hide and seek”。 Third, derivatives, such as “× door”, “× family”。
Firstly, the definition and creation of new words。 Chinese network new words, usually derived from popular language television network, they are more popular and informal language on the web, according to a new term in certain language rules to create。 These new words have no ambiguity in communication。 Chinese network new word is a complex linguistic phenomenon。 New words, based on a certain form of voice with a new concept, or combined a new voice and a sense of the old concept, is a linguistic unit in the usage of language。 In recent years, Chinese network new words have been used everywhere, even the headline of other countries, for example, BBC did a show dedicated to the term “Tuhao”, it introduces its etymology, meaning and the reason all the rage。 Another example, the pinyin “Dama” also is boarded the “Wall Street Journal” and known as “a new force which impacts the global gold market”。 The two words are belonging to Chinese network new words, and they both have no record on the dictionary。 Until now, the Oxford English dictionary contains only one Chinese etymological word “goji” which stems from “wolfberry (gouqi)”。 Another word “geilivable”, although it is similar to the formation and meaning of English, it still be out of the authority。 来:自[优E尔L论W文W网www.youerw.com +QQ752018766-
Secondly, the new use of old words。 Recently, with the rise of television, Internet and other media, in order to pursue new ideas to achieve the effect of conciseness, some creators often borrowed some words from ancient Chinese to come out in a new sense or the traditional vocabulary performance fashion things。 Mr。 Chen Yuan once said: “the most active element of language is vocabulary which can often sensitive to reflect the changes in the social life and social life” (114)。 The new use of old words is used more frequently, especially, some words keep the original meaning and develop the new meaning along with the changes of cultures。 For example, “the eight trigrams” is the phenomenon which describes the nature and laws of human social change by the ancients, but in our daily life, people pay more attention to the changed meaning “gossip” instead of the original meaning。 Another example “水” originally means fill the container。 After the web BBS, “灌水” in the Internet is “to post on the BBS”。 With the same usage, “潜水” has different meanings, one is the original meaning “go under the water”, the other is the new meaning “stealth online” which often used on the Internet。 “拍砖头” the original meaning is “take a brick”, but now, it is often translated into “criticize a post bar such as Baidu post bar”。 汉语网络新词的英译探究(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_99133.html
