Abstract: “Tangtang” is a common colloquial expression in modern Chinese. This paper makes a multi angle analysis of “Tangtang” from the aspects of its morphological and semantic evolution and discourse function. The study found that the metaphorical mechanism played an important role in the evolution of “Tangtang” from spatial domain to perceptual domain to evaluation domain. “Tangtang” has a semantic enhancement function in discourse, with the speaker’s subjective evaluation, has the anti expected effect, and can express the speaker’s positions such as approval/affirmation, refutation, sympathy, irony, etc.
