What kind of dialect meme is it

2024-04-10

In recent years, more and more dialect words have flooded into literary works such as movies, TV shows, and variety shows, and have been widely spread through the internet. People refer to dialect words that have become popular and derived unique meanings as "dialect memes". Some people believe that "meme" is actually a misuse of the homophonic character "hmm" by netizens. In the context of the Internet, "stem" has the meaning of jokes and points of laughter, and has gradually derived the meanings of bridge and foreshadowing. Due to their unique pronunciation, intonation, and semantic richness and humor, dialects in various regions are prone to being "memized". The "dialect memes" formed through the adaptation of words in the form of homophones, pseudonyms, and variants have formed a unique circle of influence among young people, integrating humor, unique cultural meanings, cultural co frequency, emotional resonance, and other social attributes, highlighting the personalized expression of the younger generation and becoming a popular cultural phenomenon. As Foucault said, "The production of discourse is always controlled, selected, organized, and redistributed by a certain program, under the control of a hidden system.". In traditional society, discourse production was only controlled by a few people. With the improvement of people's cultural level, coupled with the emergence of mobile Internet, everyone has mastered the tools of discourse production and the channels and platforms for self-expression, and discourse production has become active. Young people with creative spirit, driven by the need for emotional expression and entertainment, began large-scale meme making games using their communication tools. They create memes, deconstruct the original meaning of the text, and give it a brand new meaning, constructing a humorous or even absurd style to increase the "laughter effect" of online social interaction. There are about 100 different dialects in our country, each with unique pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar characteristics. The diversity of dialects is novel and unique for non dialect users, providing rich materials for young people who pursue humorous and personalized expression to create memes. For example, netizens created "Monkey Sai Lei" based on the pun of "so sharp" (so powerful) in Cantonese, using "mouse tail juice" to indicate "good self action" ("mouse tail juice" is a pun of "good self action" in Henan dialect). The humorous effect brought by "dialect memes" in online social interaction not only comes from the novelty of dialect words themselves, but also from the special metaphors carried by the social hot events behind "dialect memes". For example, "Monkey race thunder" originated from the discussion sparked by the image of a mascot at a party. The mascot of that party is a monkey, whose two cheeks look bulging. Some netizens do not agree with this image and exclaim that they have been struck by lightning, so they give a pun on it in Cantonese, "Monkey race (cheeks) thunder" (so powerful). It is obvious that although the term "Monkey Sai Lei" here may seem like praising something "powerful" on the surface, it actually conveys a mockery that does not agree with it. Later, when discussing various entertainment news, gossip reports, hot topics, etc., netizens often used "Monkey Sai Lei" to express surprise, disappointment, or denial. This expression is visually interesting and has a strong meaning, which can better express emotions and is popular among young people. In addition, "dialect memes" come from the old
