Study on Campus Slang from the Perspective of Semiotics

Abstract

In recent years, campus slang has gradually gained the concerns of the scholars. Campus slang, as one language form on campus, has always been the subject of semantics, pragmatics and systemic-functional linguistics. The domestic and foreign scholars mostly focused on the description and explanation of the characteristics, development tendency and pragmatic effects of campus slang, but few has been done in the field of its characteristics from the perspective of semiotics. Considering the shortage of the previous studies on campus slang, attempts are made to use specific examples of campus slang as samples to complete the research system of campus slang by giving a broader view and re-interpreting the phenomenon of campus slang from the perspective of semiotics.
