Abstract

With the development of the Internet, the use of language is more and more diversified and vivid. But at the same time, there are also a lot of violent network languages, some of which use the metaphor of disease. Disease is a physiological phenomenon, but the use of these metaphors of diseases covers a layer of emotional attitude. Moreover, disease metaphors in the violent network language express disgust, abandon, contempt and many other negative emotions. This may produce bad effect on other people’s psychology. So we should be careful with these metaphors, and don't make language become violence.
