"Everything can be absolutely unbearable":

Violent logic of network term

Text 丨 Wang Yukuo

For more than two decades, the impact of the Internet in our daily life, especially in the behavior of others, has long been unobtrusive. But it is not difficult to find that there will be some dazzling "new words" on both ends on the Internet. We are often wrapped in these "new words". Sometimes we have to understand, accept, and even use them to use them. These "new words" are called Internet buzzwords. The current network terms are still emerging, and the frequency of its generation and update is getting faster and faster, and the situation of their appearance and use is becoming more and more generalized. For example, the long -lasting "inner roll" and "lying flat" can be "covered in the world" in any context with two very different attitudes of life; Absolutely appreciated and has a bit of ridiculousness, suitable for all praise, praise, and even "embarrassing" and "embarrassing chat".

Based on our daily term, network term is generated by transforming modern Chinese. The production mechanism can be roughly divided into two types: the first type of voice related to modern Chinese, including the "homophonic stalk" we often call "homophonic stalks" It also includes the integration of Chinese and foreign languages, such as "bolt Q", "yyds", "bunker", "dazzling rice"; the second is "metaphor", which can also be understood as the replacement of meaning. This type of network term often Using people's "nonsense" associations, the words involved in the language of the language inadvertently and solidify, such as "lying", "inner volume", "check the water meter", "I really thank", "I will thank" "small", "I will thank" Times realism "and so on. The mechanism of network term indeed reflects the derivative and creativity of modern Chinese itself. However, the language itself does not mean people's abuse of language. The creativity of language itself and people's creativity of language are two different things. Therefore, in the case of the online term "very arrogant", what we need to be vigilant is the use of people's use of online buzzwords, not the derivative performance of the language itself. In other words, the language itself exists, and people are on the Internet on the Internet The paradigm of language needs to be reflected and criticized. We can reflect from the rules and characteristics of the current network term and the absence of aesthetics.

The rules of verbal use are based on the context of people's language. Different contexts have different rules: there are rules of academic terms in academic exchanges, the rules of daily language in daily communication, and online social networking Rules -we should first clarify this distinction between context. Each context rules in context make communication possible. The purpose is to make people better understand what the other party is saying. So, what are the rules of network term? We take "lying flat/inner volume" as an example: when people export these two vocabulary, it means that we are expressing some seemingly confident or doubtful attitude of life, but in us In the world of life, the real situation may not be like "lying flat/inner roll", because the real life and everyone’s life situation is complicated, and it is also very different. Roughly referring to it.

Although it is ridiculous, this simplifies that will simplify the complex and diverse real life, and the simple and rude referral is one of the most obvious rules and characteristics of the current network language, or this is the inevitable falling into people when using network buzzwords to use network buzzwords. The mud is worthy of our vigilance. Because the essence of such a ready -made vocabulary without differences in reality is precisely the violence logic of a language. This is similar to the "label" we often say: "lying flat/inner volume", "Neptune/Licking Dog", and "Tea Artists" and "Simulture Realism". They often use the empty vocabulary itself to replace the complicated and complicated reality, and declare the indiscriminate of the things in a single significance. When the difference is covered by the same one -nature, the violence of his person will be arisen without tolerance. Therefore, when we are lazy to describe things itself in a detailed and rigorous language attitude, we are accustomed to perfunctory or ridicule of reality with simple vocabulary, we will not only get farther and farther from the real, but also face language The violence crisis, in such a non -distinction and reflection of online context, may become a perpetrator or a perpetrator.

The aesthetic dimension of network term is also absent. What is aesthetic language? The aesthetic language is the other side that can reach its meaning with the help of emotion. The most real part of human perceptual is our physical perception, but unfortunately, network terms often use ideas to crowd out perception. No matter how beautiful people are experiencing, they can shout a "yyds" or "unbearable son", and people will completely lose their emotional ability on the way to the language. For example, there are two ways to praise the appearance of a woman: the first is "shoulder should be cut, waist is about the vegetarian, the neck shows, and the quality is showing"; The former mobilized the perception of vision (body), and the latter only used "unbearable son" to produce a ambiguous concept, without doubt that the praise of the former would be more recognized and effective resonance. This shows that in speech exchanges, it is more important than the concept of physical perception. When the aesthetic aesthetics can be crowded out by the vocabulary of "everything can be rhetorical", it is difficult for both parties to resonate with emotion in the communication. Language was originally a tool created by human beings, and it is an important sign of human civilization, but the rational base of casting human civilization is the emotional force that can "make people", such as people in their hearts, bravery, sympathy, etc. They are attached to this perceptual base. In the language exchange with others, if we follow the logic of "all things can be absolutely unbearable", if the simple concept referred to in the dry vocabulary completely obscures the emotional dimension of the language, then we will lose our person with others. Opportunities for emotional resonance. The empathy of the body will no longer exist. Without the convergence, the language will be reduced to a tool to deviate from human civilization. Therefore, the aesthetic absence of the network term is the accomplice of the logic of violence.

The most obvious feature of Internet buzzwords is the simplification of meaning and generalization of use, and with the simplification and generalization of them, and the absence of language aesthetics, they have participated in the violence logic of cyber language. This Specific violence is the level of language behavior, and it is rooted in people's use of online buzzwords to be born and used without reflection. Needless to say, the Internet is the hardest hit area that breeds language corruption. The Internet buzzword was originally prevailed as a "subculture". It tried to challenge the existing language habits with a rebellious attitude and advertised the user's personality. The richness and differences of the world of life, at the same time, may build a new expression of expression, and we see violence in this "habit" that has not been formed. Therefore, when we try to use "lying flat/inner volume" to lyrical, we may wish to think that there may be "sitting up" between the two.
