Z generation ＂language mask＂： only by understanding my ＂stalk＂ can you understand my heart.

　　■ Our reporter Wu Jinjiao

　　"Listening to your words is like listening to your words." "This tomato has a tomato flavor" … … These seemingly repetitive and useless words are becoming popular language games among young people.

　　Using familiar things in their own lives and creating "stalks" through various rhetoric is becoming a way for young people to express their self-mockery, ease their embarrassment or create an atmosphere on the Internet, and it is also an important social tool for them.

　　For middle school and university teachers, it is increasingly important to understand the unique "language code" of Generation Z in online or offline teaching scenes, quickly enter their communication scenes and understand their thoughts — — At the level of communication between teachers and students, the level of teachers’ "playing with stalks" seems to be more and more related to the effectiveness of educating people. Similarly, in the process of parent-child communication, whether parents and children have anything to say, the "network sense" of language has also become an important factor.

　　Generation Z thinks, "Only those who understand me ‘ Stem ’ To understand my heart. " How can teachers and parents understand the voice of this generation through their "language masks"?

　　"Terrier" may be a social dialect.

　　Wang Ximing, a Chinese teacher in the middle school attached to Fudan University, made a discovery: among middle school students, it is very common to use online language to chat. A new network "stalk" can be quickly popularized in the class as long as one student knows it. At this time, if teachers and students communicate frequently and can "learn and use" when chatting, they can be quickly included in their "circle of friends" by students.

　　"Even my own children, if they can communicate in a language they are familiar with, parent-child communication seems easier." Wang Ximing said that once, he casually used an online buzzword when chatting with his daughter, and her daughter immediately looked at him with surprise and said, "Dad, you have made progress."

　　Among college students, expressions such as "Shuan Q", "I really appreciate my family" and "I really fell down" are also like language codes to summon my peers. Xiong Hao, an associate professor at Fudan University Law School, said frankly that "surfing" on the Internet will always encounter "stalks" of one kind or another. For example, mathematics majors like to play "Doubt of Double Angle" most; No matter whether the students of biology major are in a good mood or not, it is easy to "separate the quality from the wall". Xiong Hao said, just as in a strange environment, people who speak the same language will naturally identify each other. When playing "stalk", everyone also acquiesced: to understand my "stalk" means to understand my heart. If teachers communicate with students and can’t smile at these sudden "stalks" or catch them in time, then maybe there will be no next communication.

　　According to Xu Mofan, an associate professor in the Chinese Department of East China Normal University, the so-called "stalking" is actually a social dialect phenomenon. People are divided into various communities according to age, occupation, hobbies and other factors, and the use of language is also one of the differences between different communities. "Different on the Internet ‘ Stem ’ , is also a kind of social dialect, different people are often made up of different ‘ Dialect ’ Form a psychological identity. "

　　"Nonsense literature" is not actually "abolished"?

　　"Every time you waste 60 seconds in your life, your life passes by 1 minute" "The last time I was so speechless was the last time" … … Literally, these sentences lack information content, which has become the reason why "nonsense literature" has been criticized, and it has also caused many parents and teachers to have a language "obstacle" when communicating with their children.　

　　But listening to the voice of Generation Z, they have another interpretation of "nonsense literature". "Actually, ‘ Nonsense literature ’ Not ‘ Waste ’ , they are sometimes euphemisms ‘ 舵 ’ People, sometimes just perfunctory, have rich application scenarios, which is the philosophy we only understand. " A college student said in an interview with reporters. For example, she said that expressions like "listening to your words and wasting ten years of books" convey the emotional attitude of the younger generation in a humorous way.

　　"Many online buzzwords have a strong nonsense color and often jump out of logical norms, which is both emotional and humorous." Xiong Hao also tried to interpret "nonsense literature" from the perspective of Generation Z: this may also be a "language mask" put on by young people to vent their emotions and relieve their inner pressure through popular words.

　　Others have noticed that with the rise of short videos, the speed of creating "stalks" on the Internet is further accelerated. Some experts pointed out that Generation Z is the generation that pursues the sense of network. This can explain why the popularity of "wild literature" is rising and the number of "family members" is expanding. Therefore, for many teachers, "nonsense literature" loaded with students’ voices or attitudes is more necessary to be listened to, analyzed and taken seriously.

　　Playing "terrier" also needs to be divided into occasions, so don’t lose your ability to talk well.

　　However, when many young people began to play "stalk" as a lifeline for online communication under the banner of "social fear", some scholars suggested that playing "stalk" and using "stalk" untimely and regardless of the occasion were actually overdrawing our language credit.

　　For example, someone asked on the Internet, "Don’t you want to play ‘ Stem ’ Can’t we talk well? " Some parents are also beginning to worry, for teenagers who are in the period of language sense cultivation, will excessive use affect their language learning?

　　As a middle school Chinese teacher, Wang Ximing also has further thoughts. "Parents and teachers find that children are keen to use online language. Don’t rush to deny it. The key lies in whether they can distinguish the application occasions." He said that with the growth of age and rich knowledge, students’ pursuit of buzzwords will tend to be rational, "Don’t overestimate ‘ Network hot stem ’ Don’t underestimate the flexibility of students in interpersonal communication. "

　　However, some scholars also gave a kind reminder when interviewed: the abuse of some meaningless network terms will lead to the emotional tendency of thinking activities. Many experts suggest that young students should strengthen their reading of classics, learn and train beautiful and accurate written expressions, and cultivate a sense of "elegance".
