Font input, as the most basic form of online chat, needs to transmit characters to the other party's display screen through keyboard or touch screen. Of course, the typing speed is difficult to synchronize with thinking, and it is far less convenient than direct conversation. Therefore, replacing Chinese characters with concise and efficient letters has become the first choice for netizens to chat, and its connotation has gone beyond the formal written expression.
Such as: GG (brother), JS (profiteer), PFPF (admire), ZT (repost) and so on. These languages are usually used to extract the first letters of Chinese phrases, which are easier to understand and identify, so they can be widely adopted and spread.
Mixed network language.
When simple letters and numbers are not enough to express the emotional demands of netizens, the mode of mixing them with words and English words according to needs has become a non-mainstream expression on the Internet, such as happiness ing (the combination of Chinese words and English verb suffixes indicates the process of enjoying happiness).
This network language with mixed characters undoubtedly does not conform to any language norms, or even has no rules to follow, but it is an expression form based on simplicity and aimed at "understanding and speaking clearly", so that netizens can play freely without being bound by traditional language grammar.
