“我佛了”中的模因组合模式探析

Abstract

Most of the popular Internet languages in recent years have been interpreted in linguistics, but there has not been any linguistic research on the catchphrase "I Buddha"."I-Buddha" originally evolved from the dialectal homophony of "I-Buddha", and as a widely-spread Internet buzzword, it is self-replicating and even semantic variation, which is also a successful linguistic meme.Therefore, this paper will analyze the process of generation, propagation and variation of "I Buddha" and explore the reasons for its popularity on the Internet. This paper comprehensively uses methods such as analysis, induction, and questionnaire to study the relationship between three memes: “wo X le”, “fo” and “wo fo le”. Through the study, the development process and trend of memes such as “fo”, “wo fo le” were summarized, and at the same time, a survey was conducted on the status of users’ understanding of the meaning of “wo fo le” memes. In addition, considering that “wo fo le” is an internet buzzword, Weibo, Douban, cafes and other internet social platforms and various news sites were mainly used as etymology, and the etymology was collected by combining it with BCC Modern Chinese Corpus and other corpus of Beijing Language University.
