摘　　要：This paper explores a special type of Chinese linguistic phenomenon used very popularly on the Internet,i.e.,the superposed Chinese sequence(SCS),such as又双叒叕as in我们又双叒叕要换首相了(we are going to have a new Prime Minister ONCE AGAIN!).Different from emoticons or emojis,SCS uses normal Chinese characters,but these characters do not totally observe the phonetic,lexical,and syntactic rules in standard Chinese.While emphasizing the pictographic features of SCS,which are typical of Chinese,the correlation between SCS and the environment is explicated from the perspective of ecolinguistics.It is pointed out that many factors in the environment are affecting the creation and popularization of SCS.With the proposition of the classification of stable and dynamic factors,four major intermediate statuses are presented,which an examination of whether SCS might develop into a standard Chinese usage or just disappear when it gets out of date.
