In recent years,a variety of male new words appeared in the network and our daily life,such as“暖男”,“欧巴”,“男神”,“高富帅”,“怪蜀黍”,“国民老公”,“抠脚大汉”and so on,which had novel form,large volume,substantial content and received public attention.With a large amount of language materials,this thesis,under the guidance of the theory of linguistics and sociolinguistics,conduct a relatively comprehensive and systematic research on male new words.Firstly, male new words were limited from the range of time and semantic in this thesis, which are the nouns or the noun phrases that produced by various routes since2000, owned at least one new aspect on the form, meaning or usage and of which the semantic object is male.Secondly, new male words were classified in this thesis. According to different word formations, new male words can be divided into two forms, class form and non-class form, in which, the class from new male words can be subdivided into two subcategories, “X + common morpheme(word)” and “common morpheme(word) +X”,the non-class from new male words can be subdivided into some subcategories:the new creation type, exotic, dialect, etc.Thirdly, this paper analyzed the characteristics of male new words. Features of these words perform as universality of gender markers, 89.2% of the total number of male new words has the obvious gender markers; 81.4% of the total number of male new words are generalized form; three-syllable of phonetic form; diversification of types of words, include Chinese characters, English, figures and special symbols.Once more, this paper analyzed the semantic information of male new words.These words contain rich semantic information, more comprehensive to show all aspects of modern male life, from which this article interpreted men’s living conditions, job information, influences of social aesthetic changes on male external images, different male characters and the male concept of family education as well as marriage and so on in contemporary society.Furthermore, new male words is closely related to social culture, from which you can see both the male population’s persistence and relentless pursuit of the masculine culture and “heroism”, the weak sense of social responsibility of a minority of men.Social culture, on the one hand, restricted male gender roles, on the other hand, alsocontributed to generating new changes, “male-era” quietly coming.However, in the process of producing and using, there also exist some problems such as discrimination, ideographic vague, improper use and the use of vulgar words.In which discrimination is more prominent, including gender discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, Single discrimination and appearance discrimination. To solve these problems, this article puts forward some suggestions after thinking: such as, accept the “alien” of thinking and respect for minorities; respect the rule of language and pursue ideographic clear; use standardized language and avoid abuse of mixture; “Shield" vulgarization and control language pollution, etc.
