“Dialect” Writing, Speech Community and Rhetoric Mirage of Network Literature
Zhou Bing
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220301
Online networks influence practically every subfield of literary studies. This study attempts to explore how network literature authors create a virtual literary community through characteristic use of real world language. The current network literature is written in “dialect” and “jargon” that are characterized by keywords clustering. The communalized development based on categories not only makes the “dialect” community into the new reality of network literature, but also makes the aesthetic and recreational features gradually subjugate to the regeneration of interact: “Make friends through literature”, which promotes the network literature and give impetus to push it toward the construction of speech community. While the development from one-dimensional language writing to dynamic speech communication and speech community, the enabling effectiveness of is foregrounded and idealized. It constructs imaginative reality through rhetoric mirage, leads people to the “Metaverse” of language and uses language to open the virtual survival experience of people, thus realizing the ideological function of literature. We have to look at the “media new life” manifested by network literature from the perspective of language strategy and analyze the language meaning it carries in “virtual existence” thus to effectively “decode” its implications. The emerging literary genre discussed in this article helps us reveal the new aesthetic tradition of media society.

On the Communization of Internet Language
Cheng Runfeng and Xie Xiaoming
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220302
With the rapid development of information technology and wide access to internet, internet language has attracted much academic attention in the past two decades. The internet language community is a new organisational form constructed by Internet language in the era of mobile Internet. This study provides an overview of the communization of internet language and focuses on its forms, mechanisms and influences. The communization of internet language is reflected in two aspects: the construction of internet language community and the community-wide spread of internet language. The internet language communities can be divided into four categories: interest community, relation community, fantasy community, and transaction community. There are four mechanisms for the formation and development of the communization of internet language: symbol mechanism, media mechanism, relation mechanism, and communication mechanism. The communization of internet language has both positive and negative influences. The positive effects include its focus on and criticism of society, expression of one’s feelings and adjustment of one’s mentality. The negative effects include the devaluation of language, creation of barriers to one’s social communication, narrowing of one’s interests, and formation of one’s over-sensitivity. This study argues that investigating the development of internet language from the perspective of communization can expand and deepen the research on internet language.

Research on Multimodal Interaction in Taobao Live Streaming
Wang Yubo and Pan Danting
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220303
As a kind of e-commerce, live commerce conducts transactions by means of video-based social interaction, and is an interactive communication behavior that persuades the audience to purchase products and services. Live commerce includes three steps: live broadcast warm-up, live broadcast process and live broadcast feedback, involving two interactive contexts of social media platform and virtual live broadcast room. This study applies a comprehensive framework for multimodal analysis and audience design theory to analyze a corpus of live playback videos and related social media comments. The findings show that in the context of social media, the hosts guide the audience to participate in their live broadcasts through traditional social discourse design such as “frequent use of interactive symbols” and “emotional personal expression”. Moreover, in the context of live broadcast, the close experience brought by the vertical screen and the high-modal background element coding in the live room provide the audience with a good experience atmosphere. During the live broadcast, speech is the main modality. As the speaker, hosts usually use strategies such as opening remarks, conversation history, and body posture to arouse the interaction with the audience and enhance the audience’s participation and purchase intention. The effects of live commerce on contemporary language life are as follows: (1) The nature of language as a factor of production becomes more prominent and language consumption helps stimulate economic development. (2) Language development is strongly influenced by the internet: the
update speed is accelerating; fragmented expression dominates the discourse; virtual language life features a high degree of multimodal interaction. (3) The discourse strategies of live streaming promote the development of language service industry.

The Development and Implications of International Telepractice in the Times of COVID-19 Pandemic
Chen Wenjun, Qian Qian, Zhu Shuangshuang and Sue Ann Lee
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220304
Telepractice has a 40-year history and has been steadily expanding since 2010. This study reviews the evolution of telepractice during the last ten years, as well as its new tendency after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that telepractice had a difficult start in the pre-pandemic era. However, the pandemic has brought a fundamental shift in people’s view of telepractice. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, international research and clinical institutions have devoted much time and effort to telepractice, yielding favorable results and receiving positive feedback from speech-language pathologists (SLP) and patients. Specifically, medical staff have started to investigate the clinical effects of telepractice in depth, explored the various places and technology available for its practice, tried to apply it to the most urgent patients, and discussed its economic effectiveness. In marked contrast, telepractice has not been extensively developed in China in the past years for a range of factors, including a lack of awareness and acceptance of this new kind of intervention, SLPs’ incapacity to practice it due to a lack of time and energy, and their concerns regarding reimbursement. Given that, it is recommended that China promote telepractice planning at the national level, improve doctors’ and patients’ acceptance of it, and prioritize the development of related infrastructure. In addition, a nationwide qualification system should be implemented, the number of speech-language therapists be boosted, and a proper medical insurance policy for telepractice be incorporated as part of the speech-language rehabilitation industry.

A Review of the Cyber Language Life Studies Abroad
Liu Changhua
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220305
The earliest studies of cyber language life abroad can be traced back to the investigation of network terminologies by computer experts and Internet technicians in the 1970s. Since then, three research streams have emerged in cyber language studies, including network linguistics focusing on the ontological features of cyber language, computer-mediated communication, and language policy analysis. Mobile Internet has made cyberspace more independent and tangible, bringing forth numerous new research topics. A review of the relevant literature shows that the main research themes include at least the following: online language education, language ontology related to cyberlinguistics development, language problems arising from Internet communication, and the interface between language policy and language life. The studies of language life in cyberspace abroad are characterized by diversified research dimensions, internationalized research visions, and the increasing application of language policy theories. The shortcomings of this area of research include insufficient attention to the cyber language problems in the developing countries, and lack of theoretical underpinnings from the view of language life. It is suggested that the Chinese scholarship strengthen communication with international peer researchers, seek more opportunities for international publication of cyber language life research, and promote the international spread of Chinese language life research findings.

On the Construction of the Language Welfare System for the Elderly
Teng Yanjiang
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220306
Nowadays, the senior age population constitutes an important client group using personal social services worldwide. China has witnessed an accelerating aging process among its population, and more and more scholars have begun to pay attention to how to improve the happiness and health of the elderly from linguistic perspective. Language welfare, as an emerging hot topic in the field of social care for the elderly, is a mechanism in which the state or institutional organization provides language products and services for specific groups, or pays for such services, in full or partial amount. The language welfare for the elderly is an important part of such mechanism. The language welfare system for the elderly can be approached in rather multiple forms, ranging from language learning, language assistance, language therapy, to language care. The development of language welfare initiatives for the elderly has both social and economic benefits, and it helps improve the quality of life of the elderly. Based on an investigation of literature on how age affects old adults’ language use, this paper argues that, to build a language welfare system for the elderly, it is necessary to carry out work from the following five aspects, namely, multiple stakeholders’ involvement, legislative guarantee, capital investment, technical support, and personnel training, to ensure the implementation of various forms of language welfare for the elderly, so as to contribute to the construction of the “Healthy China” project.

The Application of Computer Automatic Text Analysis in the Study of Gerontolinguistics: Progress and Prospect
Huang Lihe, Qu Huiyu and Yang Jingjing
DOI: 10.19689/j.cnki.cn10-1361/h.20220307
The use of computer automatic text analysis in the study of the elders’ discourse is an essential application of artificial intelligence in the field of Gerontolinguisitcs.
Coh-Metrix
and
LIWC
are two most commonly-used automatic text analysis tools, which have been widely used in the study of Gerontolinguistics abroad.
Coh-Metrix
evaluates the coherence and cohesion of the elders’ discourse from the perspective of discourse structure features.
LIWC
mainly measures the elders’ vocabulary to investigate their thinking mode, inner state, and personality characteristics. Both tools demonstrate the feasibility of computer-automated text analysis for early diagnosis of dementia with important clinical implications. Future research can focus on the automatic transcription and segmentation, conducting long-term follow-up research on dementia patients to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and early detection of cognitive function changes in clinical trials. This paper also suggests to speed up the construction of a Chinese elders’ discourse-tagged corpus and develop automatic text analysis tools for the Chinese language.
