11、s and changes as main language in network. network english has a new vocabulary which either describes the new things, or the newly formed abbreviation for easy inputting, or the common symbolic language of the world. the network will bring new ideas and things to people every day and the new vocabu

12、lary produced by it is increased progressively at the paces of 500 words every year. however, the dictionaries compiled by experts are far behind the emerging of the new network english. therefore, it is greatly necessary for us to analyze the word-formation methods, characteristics and translation

15、bangor. “language itself changes slowly but the network has speeded up the process of those changes so you notice them more quickly.” english is a remarkably inclusive language, and if words continue to be used for at least five years they generally end up in the oxford english dictionary. but less

16、accepted are the peculiar dialects that have sprung up amongst some users. for example, lolcat' is a phonetic, grammatically-incorrect caption that accompanies a picture of a cat, like “i'm in ur bed zleeping”.in an article called cats can has grammar the blogger anil dash referred to lolcat

17、 as “kitty pidgin”. but does something like lolcat have the staying power to become an accepted form of english? network, with its concise language, humor and other characteristics, is accepted by people of all ages, and frequently used in students compositions. network english is one of the importa

18、nt components. network english teaching is based on modern network technology, and can provide students with the full dimensional english learning environment. therefore, as a new teaching model, network english teaching demonstrates a new, worldwide learning, provides students with convenient facil

20、 up new experiences , new ideas arise,and new words and expressions will arise, too. on one hand, there are plenty of countries which use english as mother tongue or second language throughout the world on every continent, and around the local customs, habits and social environment of great distinct

21、ion, there will also be different forms of expressions and words. on the other hand, many of such expressions will be gradually absorbed into the classic english dictionary, as part of the language. with the development of computer technology,and widely application of network in daily life, more and

22、 more people begin to experience real-time communication online. in this process network has created its own new-style language, a language full of unique charm and finally making online communication bear more characteristics of the times.2.1 the emergence and development of network english people

23、in the network world,are free to read magazine, watch network tv, do business go shopping, and conduct transactions. also they are free to make friends in the chat room, and even find the network lover, and send e-mails.some words, such as “e-business, cyber-lover”, were brought by network. in this

24、information era, the network creates its own language, and forms unique new network users, so our verbal communication owns more characteristics of the times.great media integratie with eath other. the network makes people break the restriction of region, state, national language, traditions, belief

25、s boundaries and barriers, allowing people to enter the fast-growing information age. on a global scale,there are some network tools ,such as countless e-mail, e-mail discussion groups, news groups, chat rooms, news letters, bulletin board, e-magazines and electronic forums. because of the immediacy

26、, open and interactive features, network attracts network users to participate in national exchanges, and such exchanges are mostly conducted in english, in which case it will have a significant impact on the development of english.in the early 1920s, at the beginning of multimedia education of our

27、country, educator tao firstly used slide in civilian education of thousands of words. multimedia english education in china has begun at late 70s of last century . it had gone through three different stages: the start-up stage (late 1970s-imd 1990s) is the audio-visual english education,featured by

28、chats,models and audio-visual media,combination of projection,slide audio and video records.the development stage(mid1990s-late1990s)is the multi-media english education,featured by multi-media computer and large screen.the in-depth development stage(beginning of 2000-now)is the multi-media english

29、education,fetured by computer network(local area network and internet).especially the late 90's, multimedia technology in english teaching almost completely replaced the status of other media with its hypertext, interaction, flexibility,and convenience. the rapid development of information techn

30、ology promoted the popularization and application of multimedia technology and network technology. in the end of 20 century, network accessed to english education, and soon was widely used in english education.2.2 the features of network englishwith the quickening social rhythm of life and developme

31、nt of media, people have more and more high expectations for the pace of information dissemination. especially while chatting on the net, people hope that they can be close to spoken communication, get rid of the norm of the traditional written language, and demonstrate great random. letters, figure

32、s, punctuation marks, symbols, and types of facial make-up can all be used as communicating material. therefore, network english shows some unique characteristics. 2.2.1 conciseness in the rapid development of the information age, fast life rhythm is also prompted to transmit information efficiently

33、 and exchange easily . a key feature of the network communication is high efficiency. network users are seeking to take maximum amount of information in the shortest period of time, so they are bound to use the new brief words to replace the complicated long terms mainly through the use of abbreviat

34、ion of word formation, including the acronym, hybrid contraction, abbreviation with numbers and letters, and a special form of symbolic expression. acronym is the way to take the first letter of each initial english word. for example, afk means “away from keyboard”, eftr for “electronic funds transf

35、er”, imo for “in my opinion ”, myob for “my own business ”,and bbs on behalf of the “bulletin board system ”. hybrid contraction is the way to take part of two words and then combine them together to form a new network word. for example, interpedia means “network encyclopedia”, tiquette for “net eti

36、quette”, edutainment means “nducation and entertainment software”.in addition to abbreviation by voice, numbers also added to the composition of new-fashioned network words which become the most novel way in english word formation. this combination seems difficult to understand, and do not conform t

37、o the language specification, but it conforms to the modern pursuit of being unique and fashinable personality,and also adaptes to psychological need of efficiency in fast-paced competitive life state. for example, i12go says, “i want to go”, it's up 2 u means“ its up to you”, good 9 for “good n

38、ight”,and b4 for “before”. symbolic expression through certain marks also appears.the network communication is the exchange of text through the keyboard, communicators are far from each other.both parties can not see each other's image,nor can they hear each other's voices, so they can not u

39、se non-language emotions gestures, facial expressions and tone non-language emotions to transmit information. some punctuations with emotion, which are like a mask, make up for the lack of emotionin in communication. for example, :) means “wink”, : -d, means “laugh”,and >: a < means “anger”.2.

40、2.2 seriesthe second feature of new network words is the seriation. first, network english derives a great amount of words form some active affixes.among these affixes,the most active affixes are : prefix “cyber”, which means network, for examples, cyberculture (computer literacy), cvberfair (online

41、 marketplace), cyberdepot (online store) and so on; prefix “tele” means “long-distance telecommunications”, for examples, teleconferencing (remote meetings), teleeommuter (remote workers), teleputer (tv phone computer) and so on; suffix “ware” means “pieces, software ”, for example, courseware (cour

42、se ppt), freeware (free software), careware (care software), charityware (charity software),etc. secondly, another very important english word formation method of network english is compounding. seriation of compounding is one of the main features of network english word-formation. there are some co

43、mmon examples: (1) compound words with e-celectronic and others words. such as: e-magazine (electronic journals), e-text (electronic text), e-wallet (electronic wallet) and so on. (2) compound with net(meaning “network”),such as, netspeak (network language),and netsurf (net surfing) 2.2.3 metaphor n

44、etwork english has apparent metaphor characteristics.the metaphor is mankinds important cognitive way and mode of thinking. the metaphor thinking function of the language is the basis of the abstract function of the language. the metaphor is not the simple substitution or conversion of words. it com

45、pares the unknown to the known, the unfamiliar to the familiar, the simple to the complicated, the abstract to the concrete, and science to popularity. in the scientific and technological language, the metaphor language is indispensable. network english includes a lot of specialized network technolo

46、gy vocabulary and computer vocabulary. these vocabularies are scientific and technological languages to a certain extent, so network english just has a characteristic of metaphor nature, such as computer virus, gopher, archive, memory, run, and path. therefore, under the function of the metaphor, th

47、e abstract concept is specified, complicated meaning is simplified, scientific term is popularized, just making technological vocabulary of network english and daily life vocabulary very close, succinct and vivid, and easy to memorize. this has promoted the development and popularization of network

48、technology and computer knowledge to a great extent.for example,bubble sort method means, in the process of sorting, two successive adjacent numbers will be compared,and number which does not meet the requirements will be replaced, and according to this method the maximum value number will be exchan

49、ged to the last record position, then a second round of sorting. in sorting data,small numbers will float like the bubbles in the water. the important computer programming and data processing operations terms are lack corresponding words in expression. using metaphors to name the strange and abstrac

50、t concepts can conform to the economic principles of language,and meet the human embodiment of cognitive thinking. using metaphor, the abstract concepts will be concrete, complex meaning will simplified, scientific terminology will be popularized,and the connection between social sciences and natura

51、l sciences will be strenthend, so one subject can drew inspiration from another one. it is because to understand the unknown from the known and to map the unknown language domain from known domain, the network english technical terms and words are very close to daily life, simple and vivid, easy to

52、remember. such as “memory”, in general terms translates into memory, in networking terms means memory unit. the extension and flexible application of terms, in large scale promotes the development of network and the computer technology.2.2.4 other featurespopularity: the popularity of network englis

53、h is mainly reflected in its word-formation of derivation and compounding, which is analyzed in detail in chapter one. thus once a net user understands the meaning of the affix, he can infer and grasp a large amount of neologisms derived out of it. in this way, network english becomes popular and fa

54、miliar to people very quickly.succinctness: in the network, people communicate with each other through beating the keyboard. in order to transmit the most information during the shortest time, with accuracy and high speed at the same time, achieving the goal of exchanging effectively, people must lo

55、ok for the most succinct expressions. therefore, a lot of abbreviation words come into being in network english.the special network technology vocabulary often takes the form of abbreviation too, so as to simplify the article, save printing space and reading time, thus meet the requirements of the c

56、omputer science and high-speed development of network technology. the common characteristics of these vocabularies are that the form is succinct, the meaning of a word is single, and there is no abundant association meaning.symbolic language: symbolic language is also called emoticons or smiley, whi

57、ch is another characteristic of network english.describing the netizens movement, emotion and figure in symbolic language can enrich network with humanity, more vivid and more attractive,and closer to the real exchange. although symbol words do not express meanings through the change of the meaning

58、of words, and amplification chord like other words, but they can express views through different associations, replacing the function of the language. it is the most peculiar expression way in the network language. nonstandard writing: people unconsciously pursue the pace of exchanging information o

59、f a kind of spoken language in exchanging in the network, so they will neglect some rules of grammar sometimes, so long as the meanings can be clearly expressed.2.3 the application in college english teachingwith the development of modern information technology, network teaching has begun to be used as an effective way in practical teaching,and the research of teaching philosophy and tea
