【摘要】 本文选择从语义学和语用学视角对大约300条汉语网络聊天语进行语义和语用分析研究，试图从语音、词汇和句法三个层面证明在网络语境中网络词语在发音、构词、意义、特征、语体风格等方面均产生语言变体，并试图通过研究发现网络语言变异的原因。本研究主要以索绪尔的语言符号学理论，马林诺夫斯基和韩礼德的语境理论，John 1．Saeed的指称和意义理论，Katz的语义学理论，奥斯汀的言语行为理论以及格赖斯的含义会话理论为理论研究框架。作者在现有网络语言研究的基础上对网络语言进行较为全面地研究，旨在丰富网络语言研究，并通过对网络语言的研究使人们了解语境在语言中对决定语义所起的关键作用。本文采用定性研究方法，因为本研究中所采用的数据和资料均源自图书馆和网站。作者首先对网络语言，所产生的背景进行了分析，然后在对网络语言的定义、形式、特点、性质以及传播方式等方面进行描述和分析的基础上总结了10种网络词语的构词方式，4个语言层面上的语言特征：词汇、句法、语体和修辞，并就网络词语在普通语境和网络语境中的语义意义和语用意义进行了对比研究，旨在发现语义学理论和语用学理论哪个更适合用于分析和解释网络语言的意义。为了寻求导致网络语言变异的原因，作者从两个方面，外因和内因进行了探讨。最后作者就网络语言的优点和缺点，人们对待网络语言所持的态度以及网络语言今后的发展趋势展开了分析讨论。根据研究结果，作者指出网络语言是一种动态的语言系统，并且有一套自己的语言表现形式和特点，其主要表现在语音、形态、句法、意义和修辞等诸多方面。在网络语境中，语境理论和格赖斯会话含义理论更有助于用来分析和解释网络语言的意义。网络语言是在网络语境中产生的一种语言变体，今后将随着时间、语境、交际方式的变化而变化。就目前而言，网络语言因其流行性尚有其存在的必要性和合理性。然而，它毕竟是一种具有争议的语言，因此，人们对待网络语言所持的态度不尽相同。作者认为我们应该以宽容的态度和发展的眼光来对待和看待网络语言，同时应加强从理论上对网络语言的研究，并且关注网络语言的发展，吸其精华，剔其糟粕，以便更好地丰富汉语语言。更多还原

【Abstract】 From perspectives of semantics and pragmatics, this thesis chooses approximately 300 Chinese chatting cyber indications collected from Internet as the subject of the study with regard to semantic and pragmatic analysis, which attempts to prove the variety of cyber language in terms of its pronunciation, form, meaning, feature, language style in web context and the reasons of the variety at three levels: the level of phonetics, the level of lexicon and the level of syntax. The study is undertaken mainly in the theoretic framework of "Theory of Saussure’s Linguistic Sign", "The Theory of Context" proposed by Malinowski and his student Halliday, "Theory of Reference and Sense" proposed by John I. Saeed, Katz’s "Semantic Theory", Austin’s "Speech Act Theory" and Grice’s Theory of Implicature. The author tries to study cyber language more comprehensive in order to enrich the cyber language study based on the present achievements in order to help people understand better the key role a context plays when deciding the meaning of a language.Qualitative research methodology is adopted in this thesis, for all data and literatures used as samples in the study are collected from library and websites.In this thesis, the author first analyzes the background of the emerging of cyber language, and then summarizes 10 types of formation of cyber lexicons, 4 kinds of features at four levels: the lexical level, syntactic level, stylistic and rhetorical level based on the descriptions and analysis of cyber language in terms of its definition, form, feature, nature and the way of transmission. The semantic and pragmatic meaning of cyber language are compared in normal context and in web context with the intention of finding out which theory is better in analyzing and interpreting the meaning of cyber language. In order to find out what causes the variety of cyber language, the author analyzes the reasons in two aspects: the external elements and the internal elements. The advantages and disadvantages of cyber language, the attitudes that people hold toward cyber language as well as the prospect of cyber language in the future are all discussed in the thesis. According to the findings of the study, the author points out that cyber language is a dynamic language system, which has a set of form of expressing and its features in terms of phonology, morphology, syntax, style, meaning and rhetoric, etc. The Theory of Context and Grice’s Implicature Theory are more helpful in analyzing and interpreting the meaning of cyber language in web context. Cyber language is a kind of language variety in web context, which will continue to change with the change of time, context, and the way of communication in the future. At present, it is necessary and reasonable for cyber language to exist due to its popularity. However, it is a controversial language after all. Therefore people hold different attitudes toward it.The author holds that we should hold a tolerant attitude toward cyber language with an eye of development and meanwhile strengthen the study on it in theory. We should pay attention to the development of cyber language, discard the dross and select the essence so as to enrich Chinese.更多还原
