摘要

本論文旨在研究台灣青少年所使用之流行語。 在本論文裡所討論的流行語包括: 數字詞、 火星文、 注音文及符號文字等。
本論文主要是以語意為依據，將流行語分為四類: (1)與人相關的流行語，(2)與動作或狀態相關的流行語，(3)用來修飾動作或狀態的流行語，以及(4)其他(包括融合詞及火星文等)。
同儕認同是青少年使用流行語的主因，創新求變是青少年使用流行語的特色，但雖然流行語的表現多元，流行語仍必須遵循語言學上語音、語意及語用上的限制。因此，對於流行語的形成及限制是本論文的探討重點。
綜合本論文的研究結果，我們有以下的發現：第一，「不錯+單音節動詞」這個結構是一個流行語採用台語文法的例子。第二，「X很大」這個流行語表現出創新的特色。第三，「X2X1了」這個構詞結構顛覆了中文構詞順序。第四，在字尾的鼻音產生中和化的變化。第五，因為資訊流通快速，流行語產生了一些因應快速打字的需要所產生的縮略詞，例如：數字詞、注音文等。

This thesis aims to examine vogue expressions used by youngsters in Taiwan. Various types of vogue expressions used in Taiwan are discussed in this thesis, such as initialisms, numeral expressions, Huo Xing Wen, expressions presented in bo-po-mo symbols, and emoticons, etc.
This thesis discusses the formation of vogue expressions and classifies vogue expressions based on their semantic contents: (1) expressions related to a person or a group, (2) expressions used to denote an action or a state, (3) expressions used to modify an action, and (4) others (including fusion words and Huo Xing Wen). Furthermore, linguistic constraints for the formation of vogue expressions are examined. These include phonological constraints, semantic constraints, and pragmatics constraints.
Youngsters use vogue expressions mainly for peer identity. Vogue expressions used by youngsters are creative and changeable in nature. Although there are various forms of vogue expressions, vogue expressions still need to be constrained by phonological, semantic, and/or pragmatic factors.
By studying the formation of vogue expressions, the following observations are made. First, Taiwanese grammatical rules have entered in vogue expressions, e.g. the construction [bu cuo + monosyllable verb]. Second, X hen da is a new phrasal structure that has been created in vogue expressions. Third, a new construction X2X1-le is present in vogue expressions. Fourth, there is neutralization of nasals ([ŋ] and [n]) in word-final position. Fifth, due to fast transfer of information, some vogue expressions are created for the purpose of easy typing, e.g. initialisms, numeral expressions, and zu yin wen, etc.
