从后现代主义思潮到网络语言符号--网络语言符号动因论之一

本文从后现代主义哲学角度对网络语言的出现进行了分析。后现代主义哲学是对现代主义哲学的质疑、反思和批判的一种认知范式。它的彻底反传统、反权威、反理性、反中心的思潮在文学艺术方面的反映体现在反对严肃地探讨文艺,反对追求意义,提倡通俗文艺的“反文化”倾向,典型的后现代主义作品呈现出解构理性、躲避崇高、零度叙事、表象拼贴、玩耍态度(playfulness)与大众文化合流等鲜明特点。大众在“沉溺”於后现代文学艺术作品的同时,也接受了其中的后现代主义态度,这种态度反映到网民所用的交流语言上,便形成了网络语言的特点。

From Postmodernism To Cyber-language

This article makes an analysis of cyber-language from the perspective of the philosophy of postmodernism,which is a cognitive norm for question,reflection,and criticism of modernism.Its ideology of anti-tradition,anti-authority,anti-rational,and anti-center,when reflected in literature and art,is the rebellion against the serious study of literature and art,against pursuing meaning,but advocacy of popularization of literature and art.The typical works of postmodernism are represented by deconstruction of rationality,avoidance of lofty ideas,zero narrative,collage of all kinds of representatives,and an attitude of playfulness,which cater for the masses.The masses,however,while "being indulged in" the works of postmodernism,accept the ideology of postmodernism,which,in turn,is reflected in the masses in web-communication,thus resulting in cyber-language.
