A Sociolinguistic Study on the Word Features of Fandom Language from the Perspective of Social Identity—A Case Study of D&E Fans

Yuting Zhang* and Junhong Dong

Abstract—The development of the Internet has promoted the rapid spread of Korean entertainment culture in China. The “fandom culture”, one of its representatives, has gradually aroused widespread discussion in China in recent years. On the one hand, as one of the important ways of communication between fans, the fandom language has been paid more attention by the vast number of netizens because of its uniqueness. On the other hand, fans in the fandom, as the main body of the creation, are also affected by it to a certain extent, thus forming a sense of identity and belonging to their own identity. This paper focuses on a specific fan group (D&E) and explore its word features and social identity reflected by language through the research method of online ethnography combined with corpus tools.

Index Terms—Fans, fandom language, social identity, Hallyu culture
