Original title: 2019 catchphrase: ten million roads safe the first lemon essence 996
Recently, various annual catchwords lists have been launched frequently. On December 2, the national language resources monitoring and Research Center released the "top ten Internet terms in 2019". On March 3, the editorial department of Shanghai language weekly released the top ten Internet buzzwords in 2019. In addition, the well-known Chinese Journal biting words, which records the characteristics of the times with language and words, also announced the "top 10 buzzwords of 2019" on the 2nd.
Through these 'catchwords', people can have a glimpse of China in 2019. But the catchwords published by different organizations are not the same. What are the factors behind this? Why do they like to make lists?
Why are there differences in the catchwords list
At the end of the year, a variety of annual inventory began, among which the annual catchwords are also an important window to summarize a year's network cultural life. Recently, a number of units announced the annual network vocabulary.
Yu Guilin, director of the Chinese editing center of the commercial press and Deputy Secretary General of the Chinese Dictionary society of the Commercial Press, told Beijing Youth Daily that the basic principle is intelligent information processing based on big data of the corpus. The corpus stores language materials that have actually appeared in the actual use of network language, These include language materials for news sites and social media.
When it comes to the content of the Internet language published recently, there are similarities and differences. Yu Guilin said that this is a very normal result. "These data are all from real life. They are the massive data of the Internet language life of the majority of Internet users. There must be many similar parts. However, they have different choices in terms of statistical quantity, technical means and technical parameters, so they are not completely consistent As a result, this is normal. If it's exactly the same, or completely different, it may not be right. '
Yang Lincheng, executive editor of language weekly, said that the biggest feature of social media is its social nature. Compared with tribes, people in the same community tend to be more similar, and the differences between different communities are relatively obvious.
In his opinion, there are 30 catchwords in the three lists in 2019, but only three are consistent: "x million, y is the first", "lemonade / I am sour" 996 ". Although this result is influenced by different perspectives and criteria, he believes that the more profound reason lies in the characteristics of community communication.
According to Yang Lincheng's observation, most of the catchwords in 2019 are only popular in certain online communities. There is less resonance between mainstream paper media and new media (including various we media and social media) that are popular all over the network, and even less popular among people of all ages. This phenomenon has been recognized by many institutions in the annual catchwords inventory activities in recent years; this feature is more significant in 2019, and it is generally believed that there are less popular buzzwords, and some entries are even small.
Why do the catchwords list pile up?
As for the annual online vocabulary released by several organizations, how do industry experts think that the inventory of "online language" has become a hot topic? As a language practitioner, Yu Guilin said that from the perspective of language research, it is a great good thing. "It shows that all year round, people attach great importance to summing up what happened to individuals, units, collectives, even countries and the world through language Recording and spreading reflects the connection between language and people's life experience. '
What kind of catchwords can be selected?
Yang Lincheng, executive editor in chief of language weekly, said that in terms of the principle of interest, the selected items must have a certain amount of Chinese wisdom and creativity, and contain a certain interest in words. The interest of words is the charm and charm attached to the meaning, sound and body of language. In addition to the conceptual meaning, the selected items often have certain attached colors, and carry certain emotions and emotions. In terms of style, they should be light and lively, humorous and self mocking & hellip; & hellip; to make people laugh, such as' I'm too hard (South) '.
In terms of normative principles, the selection of catchwords should not only consider the popularity, but also be conducive to the construction of healthy Chinese ecology. There are several cases not included. First, hot words derived from homonyms are not accepted. Although it has a certain interest and pragmatic value, it is completely playful, which is not conducive to the standardization and healthy development of Chinese. Second, the abbreviation of Pinyin is generally not accepted. Third, transliteration of unnecessary words is not accepted. Fourth, dialect words are not accepted.
In terms of positive principle, the selected items should be able to reflect a certain mentality of the people (a certain group) at that time, which is a mirror image of social culture.
