Abstract:
With the development of information technology, young people find more and
more opportunities to express themselves in this world. For them language is
not only a means to express themselves, but also a means to redefine the
language and world around them. Tens of thousands of new words have been
created by the present-day Chinese youth and have been circulating among
themselves. This dictionary provides a lexical inventory of items used by the
present-day Chinese young people. It describes some 1,000 items in a clear and
simple way.
This dictionary is not a dictionary in the usual sense. It tries to give a
brief explanation to slang words or phrases that young people frequently use.
We try to explain in plain English, taking both native English speakers and
ESL (English as Second Language) speakers as our readers.
This dictionary targets foreign students, journalists, and others interested
in China and Chinese language and culture. To understand Chinese, it is better
to understand its young people first. They are most active and courageous
group within China and vividly present the changing thoughts and emotions in
present China.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial
advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
