潜显理论视阈下的“X搭子”

“X搭子 (X dāzi)” from the Perspective of Latent and Manifest Theory

摘要: 随着社会的发展，人们的交际生活越发丰富。特别是在网络交际中，各色新词新语不断涌现，它们的使用范围不断扩大，甚至在日常的生活交际中也多有使用，这无一不显示出汉语强大的生命力和包容力。本文基于王希杰先生的“语言潜、显性”的理论，对“X搭子”这一新词的产生和发展进行刻画和描写。并分别从外部社会需求和内部语言规律两个层面对“X搭子”的潜词显化现象作原因分析和途径探究，并结合该词族的语用实例评析其语用效果。

Abstract: With the development of society, people’s communicative lives have become increasingly diverse. Particularly in online communication, a variety of new words and expressions continue to emerge, their usage expanding even into daily offline interactions—demonstrating the remarkable vitality and inclusiveness of the Chinese language. Based on Mr. Wang Xijie’s “Latent and Manifest Theory” of language, this paper examines the emergence and evolution of the neologism “X搭子 (X dāzi)”. It analyzes the reasons behind the transformation of “X搭子” from a latent to a manifest lexical item from both external social demand and internal linguistic mechanisms, explores its developmental pathways, and evaluates its pragmatic effects through real-world usage examples.
