Elly van Gelderen. 2022. Third Factors in Language Variation and Change.Cambridge:Cambridge University Press. xvi+239pp.Chomsky(2005)提出语言设计的三个因素:基因赋予、语言经验、非语言机能特有的因素。由著名生成句法学家Elly van Gelderen所著的《语言变异和变化的第三因素》一书就是对第三个因素的具体探索。在这项开创性的研究中,van Gelderen以独特的视角,将生成语法的最新理论进展与语言变异和变化的现象联系起来。该书堪称句法理论和历史语言学研究人员、学生的必读之作。全书除引言、结语外共六章,下面先介绍全书内容,然后进行评价。
社交网络的迅速发展促使语言在使用过程中产生了显著的变异现象。基于语言变异理论,本文深入探讨了社交网络用语变异的动因、类型与特点,并评估了其对语言规范、传播与发展的影响。随后,从社会、技术、个人三个层面分析了社交网络用语变异的动因,阐述了社会文化背景、技术进步以及个体差异对语言变异的影响。此外,本文进一步分析了词汇、语法、语音三个层面的变异特点,最后对社交网络用语的未来发展趋势进行了展望,提出在语言规范和语言创新之间寻求平衡的必要性,有助于深入地理解社交网络用语的变异现象,为语言研究提供了新的视角和思路。The rapid development of social networks has led to significant variations in language usage. Based on the theory of language variation, this article delves into the causes, types, and characteristics of language variation in social networks, and evaluates its impact on language norms, dissemination, and development. Subsequently, the reasons for the variation of social network language were analyzed from the perspectives of society, technology, and individuals, and the impact of socio-cultural background, technological progress, and individual differences on language variation was elaborated. In addition, this article further analyzes the variation characteristics of vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics, and finally looks forward to the future development trend of social network language. It proposes the necessity of seeking a balance between language norms and language innovation, which helps to deeply understand the phenomenon of variation in social network language and provides new perspectives and ideas for language research.
随着网络社会的崛起,传统的成语逐渐与网络热词相结合,形成了既具有文化底蕴又不失现代气息的新型语言表达方式。本研究从认知社会语言学的视角探讨了成语与现代网络语境相结合的语言变异现象。通过在新浪微博和抖音等社交平台上收集和分析网络语料,研究发现这种融合主要表现在语音和词义两个方面的变异:语音变异包括英语和汉语谐音;词义变异包括词义扬升和贬降。从认知语言学的角度看,这种融合是通过隐喻和转喻机制实现的,语用因素以及社会因素也在其中发挥作用。对成语与现代网络语境的融合不仅记录了社会的变迁,还推动了语言的创新和发展,具有理论和实践意义。With the rise of the internet society, traditional idioms are gradually combined with internet buzzwords, forming a new type of language expression that combines cultural heritage with modern expression. This study explores the phenomenon of the combination of idioms and internet buzzwords from the perspective of cognitive sociolinguistics. Through collecting and analyzing online data through social platforms such as Sina Weibo and TikTok, the study found that this integration is mainly reflected in two aspects of phonetic and semantic variations: phonetic variations include English and Chinese homophones;semantic variations include semantic elevation and degradation. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, this integration is achieved through metaphor and metonymy mechanisms, and pragmatic and social factors also play a role. The integration of idioms and internet buzzwords not only shows social changes, but also promotes language innovation and development, which has theoretical and practical significance.
