Structural Type,Evolution Path and Media Motivation of the Emerging Incremental Expressions
The emerging incremental expressions in network language exhibit a rich hierarchical structure,including five main categories:character resemblance,verb overlap,adjectival overlap,incremental marking patterns,semi-graphic structures and relational antithesis.Character resemblance and verb overlap achieve objective increment and event integration by representing repetitive actions or prolonged duration.Adjectival overlap,incremental marking patterns and semi-graphic structures highlight the attributes of objects through metaphorical shifts between qualities and quantities,thereby achieving subjective increment and evaluation.Relational antithesis reprograms original logical relationships into progressive relationships through semantic contradictions,thus emphasizing subjective increment and modal expressions.The media motivations of emerging incremental expressions include visual dominance and modal compensation,mobile interconnection and interface discourse,as well as gaming attitudes and exaggerated linguistic styles.Network language exhibits a tendency towards increasing polarization and size bias,which is attributed to differences in pragmatic patterns of online communication compared to real-life interactions,with incremental features prominently showcasing the subjective nature of network language and interactive subjectivity.
