摘要

社交媒体传播有其自身的语言特点,其中一个方面是对标准词汇的修改拼写。社交媒体用户在使用缩略词的同时也充分意识到其含义,并且不断有新的非标准词汇加入到社交媒体语言的曲目中。一个相关的问题是,社交媒体用户是否学会了使用这些非标准词汇,或者它们是否也为社交媒体交流中使用的词汇做出了贡献。这项研究调查了马来西亚千禧一代在推特上使用非标准词汇的情况,以及他们缩短词汇的原因。对于非标准单词,从200名活跃的Twitter用户中收集数据,而缩短单词的原因则从30名用户中收集数据。结果显示,马来西亚千禧一代经常使用非标准拼写单词。排在前三位的单词是“ni”(这个)、“nak”(想要)和X(否定)。Twitter用户缩短单词的主要原因是每条tweet的280个字符限制、用户便利性和单词的特性。Twitter用户有时可以随意为标准单词创造新的拼写,但大多数时候,他们使用的是常见的非标准单词。马来西亚的千禧一代报告说,他们倾向于缩短长而复杂的单词,以及有很多元音的单词。研究表明,推特用户在使用非标准词汇时,会在沟通速度和保留意思之间取得平衡。关键词:社交媒体,Twitter,非标准词,构词过程,缩略语

Uncovering Factors Influencing Millennials’ Use of Non-Standard Words in Twitter
Social media communication has its own language features and one aspect is modified spelling of standard words. Social media users use shortened words with full awareness of the meanings, and new non-standard words are constantly added to the repertoire of social media language. A pertinent question is whether social media users learn these non-standard words to use or whether they also contribute to the vocabulary used in social media communication. The study examined Malaysian millennials’ use of non-standard words in Twitter and their reasons for shortening words. For the non-standard words, data were collected from 200 active Twitter users whereas data on reasons for shortening words were collected from 30 users. The results showed that the Malaysian millennials frequently used non-standard spelling of words. The three top words were “ni” (this), “nak” (want), and X (negation). The main reasons for the Twitter users to shorten words were the 280-character limit per tweet, user convenience, and characteristics of words. The Twitter users felt free to create new spellings of standard words at times for fun, but most of the time, they use the common non-standard words. The Malaysian millennials reported that they were inclined to shorten long and complex words, and words with many vowels. The study suggests that Twitter users balance between speed in communication and preservation of meaning when using non-standard words. Keywords: Social media, Twitter, non-standard words, word formation processes, shortening of words.
