Abstract

This paper introduces the study of Internet nicknames from the perspective of sociolinguistics. However, few studies on Internet nicknames talk about sociolinguistics and seldom discuss the causes and meanings behind them. Therefore, the paper investigates and classifies Chinese Internet nicknames and compares them with English Internet nicknames. We find that netizens in different countries and regions tend to use different online social platforms. The selection of online names is influenced by social, cultural, psychological, and other factors. And Internet nicknames can also reflect the above-mentioned social factors to a certain extent. Although Internet nicknames greatly influence our life, they also bring some problems to be solved.
