构式指整体意义无法从其组成部分简单加合出来的语言单位。该文以网络语言中的构式为考察对象,分析了网络语言中构式的浮现、扩散和固化的过程。网络语言中构式的浮现主要有语境赋义和错配成型两种机制。构式的扩散则可分为同范畴扩容和跨范畴变异两种情况。构式的固化程度可以通过能产性、图式性和组合性三个维度进行衡量。最后该文总结了网络语言中构式化的三个特点。

Construction is prototypically a linguistic unit of language whose meaning can not be derived directly from the meaning of its parts. This paper concentrates on constructions in cyber language, analyzing its emergence, expansion and solidification. The emergence of a new construction is often attributed to either the special context of language usage or the intentional violation of conventional expressions. The expansion of a construction contains expansion inside the same category and expansion across different categories. The degree of solidification can be measured from three dimensions: productivity, schematicity, and compositionality.
