Abstract

Situated at the intersection of social media communication and pragmatics of language use online, this article will examine the social action of community veneration of a local plumber by members of a neighbourhood Facebook group, the vast majority of whom do not know each other personally (nor necessarily the plumber). Particular attention will be paid to the way in which this veneration is constructed over time through linguistic creativity and humour, such as limericks, exaggeration, and various terms of reverence and hero worship. In addition to these linguistic devices, it will be shown how the participants actively exploit the digital environment to create context-dependent humour through emojis, memes, and other graphics. The selected examples will illustrate how this collaborative veneration and playfulness also strengthen the sense of belonging in this group of online strangers.
"常驻超级英雄
本文将从社交媒体传播与网络语言使用语用学的交叉点出发,研究一个社区 Facebook 群组的成员对当地水管工的社区崇敬这一社会行为,这些成员中的绝大多数人彼此并不认识(也不一定认识水管工)。文章将特别关注这种崇敬是如何随着时间的推移通过语言创造力和幽默感构建起来的,如打油诗、夸张以及各种崇敬和英雄崇拜的词汇。除了这些语言手段,我们还将展示参与者如何积极利用数字环境,通过表情符号、备忘录和其他图形来创造与语境相关的幽默。所选的例子将说明这种合作性的崇敬和游戏性是如何加强这个网络陌生人群体的归属感的。
