- Abstract
The word “Dada” has several parts of speech. It’s often used as a kinship appellation noun in Chinese dialect. The semantic generalization of “Dada” in the construction of “X Dada” is the common result of the externalization of metaphorical thinking and the generalization of emotional principles. The popularity of “Xi Dada” structure is closely related to such factors as the mechanism of language analogy and the principle of least effort, the unique pragmatic effect of reduplicated words, the herd mentality and innovation psychological of netizen and the huge dissemination effect of network media.
