At present,most of the researches on the new words in the Modern Chinese Dictionary belong to static description;Moreover,Shixian mostly focus on the study of a certain hot word or a certain kind of structural popular words,but lack of dynamic research on the list of popular words,and the theory and practice of the study of word vitality are not enough.In view of this,this paper starts from the discussion of the theoretical basis,combined with the specific corpus in the past decade,to investigate and analyze the vitality of the network popular words.This paper argues that the study of word vitality originates from the study of language vitality,and the theory of language vitality is the theoretical source of word vitality.According to the evaluation elements of language vitality,we roughly divide the internal and external factors that affect word vitality,and combine interdisciplinary methods such as communication and computer science to propose that the assessment of word vitality should be carried out from many aspects such as language description and data quantification,including the method of using corpus linguistics,the method of language monitoring and the method of language investigation.Regarding the investigation and analysis of word vitality,we use the method of corpus linguistics,combining static description and dynamic investigation,and make specific analyses of 49 new online words in the Modern Chinese Dictionary(7th Edition)and 200 popular words from 2015 to 2022.According to the specific research objects and corpus,try to use different data processing methods to explore and reveal the vitality and life cycle of Internet buzzwords.Studies have shown that the analysis of word vitality can find that the vitality of popular words is indeed strong and weak,for example,two-syllable words and nouns have higher vitality than other types of words.If the Internet words included in the dictionary belong to the "steep rise and steep fall" type or "high popularity-short-term explosion" type,then you should make a careful choice when receiving the word.At the same time,in order to comprehensively present the vitality of popular words on the Internet,this paper also uses the questionnaire survey method to further study the vitality of words through the data obtained from online surveys.Affected by age,education level and occupation,people’s awareness and use of words are different,which also indirectly reflects the vitality of words.In addition,in the age of information-rich Internet,the more popular the fast-growing buzzwords appear,the faster they will be forgotten.
