“爱你老x”构式的结构特征与认知机制研究

A Study on the Structural Features and Cognitive Mechanisms of the Construction “Ai Ni Lao X”

摘要: 近年来，“爱你老己”在网络空间迅速流行，并进一步演化形成开放性的“爱你老X”构式。本文基于认知语言学和构式语法理论，以网络平台真实语料为基础，对“爱你老X”构式的结构特征、变体类型、语义生成机制、构式能产性及传播动因进行分析。研究发现，“老”在该构式中已完成亲昵前缀化，其年龄义基本虚化；“X”位置具有较强的开放性，可容纳自我指称、身体部位、生活状态、日常物品、社会关系及虚拟对象等多种语义类型。该构式的意义生成主要依赖自我距离化机制与“自我是老友”的本体隐喻。与此同时，其广泛传播既体现了网络语言较强的创造能力，也从一个侧面反映出部分青年使用者对于自我关怀和情感支持的需求。本文认为，“爱你老X”是一种具有稳定形式和独立意义的新兴网络构式，为观察网络语言演变及青年情感表达方式提供了新的语言学视角。

Abstract: In recent years, “Ai Ni Lao Ji” has become popular on Chinese social media and has gradually developed into the open construction “Ai Ni Lao X”. Based on Cognitive Linguistics and Construction Grammar, this paper analyzes the structural features, semantic mechanisms, productivity, and popularity of this construction using online language data. The results show that “lao” functions as an affectionate prefix, while the slot X demonstrates strong productivity and can refer to the self, body parts, life conditions, daily objects, social relationships, and virtual entities. The meaning of the construction is mainly generated through self-distancing and the metaphor of “the self as an old friend”. The popularity of the construction reflects both the creativity of internet language and young people’s increasing need for self-care and emotional support. This study argues that “Ai Ni Lao X” is an emerging construction with relatively stable form and independent meaning.
