Abstract: With the development of the Internet, various new Internet terms keep emerging. While enriching people’s expressions, the language phenomena behind them have also attracted more and more attention from linguists. Among them, the research on “~Zi” plays an even more important role in the study of quasi-affixing. With the development of The Times, the “~Zi” has been constantly evolving, and the usages of “XX Zi” and “XY Zi” have emerged. Based on the previous work, this article focuses on distinguishing the differences between the two and makes comparisons from multiple perspectives such as grammar, semantics, and pragmatics. By searching for materials and combining with relevant research, the causes of the generation of “XX Zi” and “XY Zi” were compared, and their formation causes and mechanisms were summarized and concluded. It was concluded that their generation is related to the celebrity effect, the influence of foreign languages, the needs of public psychology, social development and analogical mechanisms. On this basis, attempts are made to analyze the causes of its emergence and predict its development trend, with the expectation of providing certain assistance for the research of related new Internet words.
