5、 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Foreign Languages Changchun University of Science and Technology December, 2011 Abstract In resent years, network catchwords have emerged in our daily life continuously as a newly developed

6、 language variety, which exerts a huge influence on social culture and social development. Meanwhile, network catchwords are catching more and more attention as a memetic phenomenon. On the basis of a large amount of data collection and rearrangement by means of combinations of theory and practice,

7、description and interpretation, and induction and deduction, the thesis will conduct a systematic research on network catchword memes from the perspective of memetics. Firstly, the thesis will elaborate the linguistic phenomenonnetwork catchwords comprehensively; secondly, the theoretical basis of t

8、his thesis-memetics will be expounded in details; thirdly, on the basis of systematic analysis and study on network catchword memes, it is found out that network catchwords are essentially strong memes; network catchword memes are most conspicuously characterized by their replicability and transmiss

9、ibility; there are three replication ways and two transmission ways of network catchword memes; predominance of network itself, conformity to criteria for strong memes, etc. are major causes for replication and transmission of network catchword memes; network catchword memes produce certain effects

10、in the course of replication and transmission; and there exists interactive relationship between network catchword memes and culture. The conclusion is that memetics acts as a theoretical guide in the process of replication and transmission of network catchword memes. Key Words: network catchwords;

11、memetics; strong meme; network catchword memes; replication; transmission; culture 近年来，网络流行语作为一种新兴的语言变体不断出现在人们的生活当中，对社 会文化和社会发展都产生了很大的影响。与此同时，网络流行语作为一种模因现象， 也受到越来越多的关注。本文将在大量收集和整理资料的基础上，运用理论与实践相 结合、描述与阐释相结合及归纳与演绎相结合的研究方法，从模因论的视角对网络流 行语进行系统的研宄。论文首先对网络流行语这一语言现象进行全面阐述；其次，详 尽阐释文章的理论基础一模因论；在对网络流行语模因现象进行系

12、统的分析和研宄的 基础上发现，网络流行语本质上是强势模因；网络流行语模因最显著的特征是复 制性和传播性；网络流行语模因有三种复制方式，两种传播方式；网 络自身的优 势、与强势模因衡量标准的一致性等因素是网络流行语模因得以复制和传播的主 要原因；在复制和传播的过程中，网络流行语模因会产生一定的效应；网络流行 语与文化之间存在互动关系。其结论是，模因论在网络流行语模因的复制和传播 过程中充当着理论指导的角色。 关键词 ： 网络流行语，模因论，强势模因，网络流行语模因，复制，传播，文化 Contents Abstract .I . n Contents .
