ABSTRACT: Internet slang is an emerging linguistic phenomenon in the Internet era. Nowadays, with the popularity of the Internet and the increasing number of netizens, Internet slang has become a vast and self-contained system. Although some online language expressions are peculiar and even difficult to understand, their spontaneous creativity and word formation methods still leave us with research opportunities. This article takes Internet dirty language as an example to analyze the grammatical phenomena of Internet slang from the perspectives of phonetics, grammar, semantics, and further explores the reasons and considerations behind the formation of Internet Profanity.
