ABSTRACT

The spread of network catchwords is closely related to social life, and as a new type of information carrier, how it is used and spread in daily life. Under the background of popular culture, network catchwords can create a relaxed and lively online atmosphere by joking words, which can help young people to release their daily anxiety, relieve their life pressure and relax in the spiritual world. Such a young language form can make online communication more energetic. Based on cognitive linguistics and relevance theory, this paper selects some of the most common network catchwords over the years to analyze their semantic culture and pragmatic value in a specific context. The semantic culture of these buzzwords has also changed in different contexts. By analyzing its semantic culture, we can better understand the meaning and usage of new network catchwords.
