摘要本文探讨了一种网络语言变体的注册及其特点。网络语言的注册是通过几个元话语的网站来探索的：关于计算机媒介交流的学术研究，印刷媒体中元语言术语网络语言和聊天语言的使用，以及关于语言和互联网的在线评论线程。这种元话语提供了证据，证明网络语言的共同概念是由独特的书面特征组成的，主要是首字母缩略词，缩写和拼写。网络语言的登记源于标准语言意识形态和技术的决定论观点，这些特征作为非标准和互联网特有的特征的结合阐明了互联网互动的感知独特性。然而，经验证据表明，这些功能是相对罕见的即时消息会话，一种形式的互动，其中互联网语言归因于这种差异的应用程序的索引顺序enregisterment的影响。（登记，语言意识形态，计算机媒介传播，互联网，元话语，索引顺序，标准英语，技术决定论，大众传媒）*
Abstract This article investigates the enregisterment of an internet-specific language variety and its features. The enregisterment of internet language is explored through several sites of metadiscourse: academic scholarship about computer-mediated communication, uses of the metalinguistic terms netspeak and chatspeak in print media, and online comment threads about language and the internet. This metadiscourse provides evidence of a shared concept of internet language as comprising distinctive written features, primarily acronyms, abbreviations, and respellings. Internet language's enregisterment emerges from standard language ideology and deterministic views of technology, where the construal of these features as both nonstandard and internet-specific articulates the perceived distinctiveness of internet interactions. Yet empirical evidence shows that these features are relatively rare in instant messaging conversations, one form of interaction to which internet language is attributed; this discrepancy has implications for the application of indexical order to enregisterment.
