Should We Ban Internet Slang in News and Formal Documents?
With easy access to the Internet, there are more and more people getting online and having fun every day. In the virtual world, they set up their own rules, build their communities, and even develop their own slang. Indeed, terms originating from the Internet such as " PK" for competition and " dinosaur" for ugly women, have become household words around China. In response to the situation, a new regulation has been introduced in Shanghai to forbid the use of Internet slang in official documents, news broadcasts and textbooks. Though many netizens do not welcome the regulation, I hold that it has come out for good reasons.
Firstly, Internet slang does not fit in with news and formal documents. Every language has many branches such as the law, computer, business and medical language, and they tend to fulfill their functions in various contexts respectively with their particular meanings and styles. If we mingle them without consideration of the context and occasion, misunderstanding and feeling of absurdity would probably come up. Indeed, if we use Internet slang which is often casual, simple and catchy in formal documents such as a business contract or a news report, the formality and solemnity of these documents may be deprived. For instance, when we put an Internet term in the news line " China will compete with the U. S. in textile industry" , it will become "China will PK the U. S. in textile industry" , and readers or audience can easily tell something is out of place and get uncomfortable. In short, Internet slang is not in line with news and formal documents, especially in style.
Secondly, the wide use of Internet slang in news and formal documents might mislead language learners. Formal documents such as teaching materials and news broadcasts are models for the use of a language. As the Internet slang terms are new, unsteady, and developing, too much use of them would reduce or spoil the regulatory and conventional feature of a language. At the same time, while acquiring and using this kind of slang, China’s younger generation can not master the standard of using Chinese or even do not know what the formal Chinese is.
Moreover, a country’s language needs 1o develop, but it also needs to be regulated. The culture is passed down through language from generation to generation, so the regulation of language actually preserves a country’s culture. Many countries have set regulations on their languages. For instance, Russia has a law to stop the invasion of foreign slang; France has a similar prohibition. If coinages, slang terms and expressions from various sources are free to settle down in our core language, they may impose burden on our vocabulary, cause possible barrier in communication, and bring about disharmony in our culture.
Considering all the above factors, Internet slang is not suitable to be used in news and formal documents. Therefore, the new regulation will stand, and it will also help to purify our language and guide the younger generation to acquire authentic Chinese language.
