Inventing words

Word invention is viewed initial, new and intereting in China.Word invention is viewed new and ineresting in the English speaking world as well.It is viewed the same in China as outside China.

In China, lots of Internet words are popular.These words are very interesting. For instance, ‘Beiguoxia’ means that someone burden something that he or she doesn’t have to, which  is created by Internet literature. It’s like a joke. A little bit fun.

In the English speaking world, remembering I just listen to the word ‘cool’, representing trendy and fashion things. I didn’t know why I just wanted to say it again and again maybe to prove that I was a fashion girl and I knew something new.Just maybe I thought I could become a special person by this way .

Why people invent new words? Afer all, history and culture have been continually changing, people invented new things like air plane, computer, even cell phone. Our life has been changed numerously. People in the past couldn’t imagine that we can talk to each other just by a rectangle box, that we ride a big steel bird to a place which is long distance in just a few hours, or that we can find many different knowledge on a strange bright square box in just 5 seconds. All these new things were named, so new words were invented.

If I’m a word inventor, the principles I use are that new words have to relate to the new things, such as shapes, colors, inventor’s name, functions, or morphing of  the old things, and so on.
