YU Quanyou & PEI Jingrui

Abstract

The new word like shaigongzi (sharing salary information) has been gaining popularity on the Internet as well as in the popular magazines since the second half of 2006. As the emergence of these new words is considered to be closely related to certain social and cultural psychological factors, we made a preliminary research into the new vocabulary and its socio-cultural and psychological factors.

Keywords: shai (share) family lexicon; neologism; socio-cultural and psychological factors
