Autoethnography, Internet Buzzwords, Communication.Abstract
This study examines the utilization of Internet buzzwords in social media platforms by a bilingual female netizen. Autoethnography is used to collect data through the diary and interviews with other bilingual and Internet users. The results reveal disparities in the usage of Internet buzzwords between women and men, as well as variances in the adoption of Chinese and Western buzzwords. These findings contribute to the comprehension of Internet buzzword usage in social media, shedding light on its impact on communication and culture.
