摘　　要：生物发展遵循进化论,语言的变迁同样也遵循进化论。在语言进化过程中,新词汇不断诞生,极大丰富了语言的内涵,反映出日新月异的社会变化。在互联网、全球化等当代新环境因素的影响下,新词汇的诞生呈加速度的趋势。由于人们的生活节奏日益加快,新词语的诞生也以简洁、高效为特点。虽然新词语层出不穷,偶尔也有滥用现象,但新词语的诞生遵循一定的规律,同时词汇中的原生词词义保持稳定。因此,了解新词诞生的规律,把握语言中的原生词,并与时俱进追踪新词,无疑会对语言教学和语言研究起到极其重要的促进作用。Similar to biological evolution,language change also follows the evolutionary theory.In the process of language evolution,neologisms keep springing up so as to reflect the rapidly-changing society and enrich every aspect of human life.Impacted by the Internet,globalization and other factors,neologisms are born at an accelerating rate.With the faster pace of people's life,neologisms are characterized by simplicity and efficiency.Though occasionally abused,neologisms emerge with an endless stream following certain rules.Meanwhile the primitive words in a language are comparatively stable in meaning.Hence,it is of great significance in language teaching,learning and research to study the formation rules of neologisms,have a good command of the primitive words and keep an eye on the up-to-date neologisms.
