As the use of smart phones among teenage became a daily routine, the spreading of slang language in the SNS platform has been immense. As such, this research has focused on the cultural phenomenon acting apart from the users(juveniles) of the spreading of slang as the main cause of the that effects the spreading of the slang as the language culture of the juveniles. This study examines the applicability of the language meme as a language spreading medium by examining it from the viewpoint of the activity of the language meme which is difficult to control by the juveniles themselves. As a suggestion, to observe the juvenile slang spreading stages through the view point of meme, the proliferation is not the juvenile themselves, the selfish gene and the cultural imitator, meme, is the spreading force and the language replication as the contagion through juveniles, that are the optimal psychological and social condition of evolution as hosts. In other words, it is fair th say that a ‘juvenile language (slang) culture’ has been created in result of juveniles reacting to their self-effort for the evolution of meme. A more environmental rather than institutional regulation, in other words, a pan-social efforts to contain the spreading of slang from the assimilation stage is needed, as much as the creating of a wholesome media cultural environment. Furthermore, a continuous guidance for the language is needed from a paternalistic perspective in consideration of the characteristical language psychology of adolescent development. Only, the discussion of a scientific basis and application suitability of the meme phenomenon remains an assignment.

“佛系”自2017年底开始走红网络，引起广泛关注。在“佛系X”的框架下，人们根据不同的交际语境创造出许多“佛系”的表达，如“佛系养子”、“佛系追星”、“佛系员工”等。可以看出“佛系X”这个流行词具有显着的模因性质。目前国内对“佛系”的研究多从传播学、文化学、社会学等角度进行。尽管有学者从认知、语义等语言学角度分析了“佛系”的形成和传播，但尚未学者从结构、语义、语用特征等内部因素与外部因素相结合。基于模因论，从主体性、语境化等角度分析对语言模因“佛系X”的生成、复制和传播的影响。模因论起源于达尔文进化论观点解释文化进化规律的理论。它已成为语用学研究领域的新兴热点，并在研究实践中表现出较强的解释力。因此，本论文以模因理论为框架，选择网络流行语“佛系X”的表达为研究对象。本文从模因理论的角度对“佛系X”表达方式进行了尝试性的探索，并对影响该表达方式产生、复制和传播的内外部因素以及其语用性进行了较为全面的解释。“佛系X”表达在传播过程中实现的功能，为模因论应用于语言现象研究提供了参考，也在一定程度上丰富了网络流行语的案例研究。

“Fo Xi” has become popular on the Internet since the end of 2017 and attracted widespread attention. Under the framework of “Fo Xi X”, people create many “Fo Xi” expressions according to different communication contexts, such as “Fo Xi Raising Children”, “Fo Xi Chasing Stars”, “Fo Xi Employees”, etc. It is obvious that the buzzword “Fo Xi X” has significant memetic qualities. At present, domestic researches on “Fo Xi” are mostly carried out from the perspectives of communication, culture, and sociology. Although a small number of scholars have analyzed the formation and dissemination of “Fo Xi” from the perspective of linguistics such as cognition and semantics, there is no scholar who has integrated internal factors such as structural, semantic, and pragmatic features, with external factors such as subjectivity and contextualization to analyze the influence on the generation, reproduction and spread of the linguistic meme “Fo Xi X” based on memetics. From the perspective of memetic theory, this thesis makes a tentative exploration of “Fo Xi X” expression, and provides a relatively comprehensive explanation of the internal and external factors that affect the generation, reproduction and dissemination of this expression, as well as the pragmatic functions that “Fo Xi X” expression realizes in the process of communication, which supplies a reference for the application of memetics to the study of language phenomena and enriches the case study of Internet buzzwords to a certain extent.
