DoggoLingo is an Internet language that is created from word conversion, meme lexicon, and onomatopoeia. Emerging in the 2010s, DoggoLingo is implied to be a dog's own idiom, and is presented as a canine's thought process. Elyse Graham, assistant professor at Stony Brook University, describes DoggoLingo as "upbeat, joyful, and clueless in a relentlessly friendly way". Structure and usage DoggoLingo appends various diminutive suffixes "-o", "-er", "-ino" to existing English words (e.g. ''dog'' turns into ''doggo'', ''pup'' turns into ''pupper'') as well as DoggoLingo words that have been created (e.g. ''pupper'' turns into ''pupperino''). DoggoLingo relies heavily upon onomatopoeia: Words such as ''mlem'' or ''blep'' describe the action of a dog sticking out its tongue, or other forms of facial expression. Much like a creole language, DoggoLingo follows a similar rudimentary style to create its verbs (e.g. ''doin me a'' in place of present participles with the speaker as obje ...

Creole Language
A creole language, or simply creole, is a stable form of contact language that develops from the process of different languages simplifying and mixing into a new form (often a pidgin), and then that form expanding and elaborating into a full-fledged language with Nativization, native speakers, all within a fairly brief period. While the concept is similar to that of a mixed language, mixed or hybrid language, creoles are often characterized by a tendency to systematize their inherited grammar (e.g., by eliminating irregularities). Like any language, creoles are characterized by a consistent system of grammar, possess large stable vocabularies, and are Language acquisition, acquired by children as their native language. These three features distinguish a creole language from a pidgin. Creolistics, or creology, is the study of creole languages and, as such, is a subfield of linguistics. Someone who engages in this study is called a creolist. The precise number of creole languages ...

Eye Dialect
Eye dialect is a writer's use of deliberately nonstandard spelling either because they do not consider the standard spelling a good reflection of the pronunciation or because they are intending to portray vernacular, informal or low-status language usage. The term was coined by George Philip Krapp to refer to a literary technique that implies the standard pronunciation of a given word that is not well-reflected by its standard spelling, such as ''wimmin'' to represent more accurately the typical English pronunciation of ''women''. However, eye dialect is also commonly used to indicate that a character's speech is vernacular (nonstandard dialect, nonstandard), casual, foreign, or uneducated, often to be humorous. This form of nonstandard spelling differs from others in that a difference in spelling does not indicate a difference in pronunciation of a word. That is, it is a "dialect to the eye", rather than "to the ear". Use Most authors are likely to use eye dialect with restraint, ...

Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia (or rarely echoism) is a type of word, or the process of creating a word, that phonetics, phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Common onomatopoeias in English include animal noises such as Oink (sound), ''oink'', ''meow'', ''roar'', and ''Bird vocalization, chirp'', among other sounds such as ''Beep (sound), beep'' or ''hiccup''. Onomatopoeia can differ by language: it conforms to some extent to the broader natural language, linguistic system. Hence, the sound of a clock may be expressed variously across languages: as ' in English language, English, in Spanish language, Spanish and Italian language, Italian (see photo), in Standard Chinese, Mandarin, in Japanese language, Japanese, or in Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali language, Bengali.

Backronym
A backronym is an acronym formed from an already existing word by expanding its letters into the words of a phrase. Backronyms may be invented with either serious or humorous intent, or they may be a type of false etymology or folk etymology. The word is a portmanteau of ''back'' and ''acronym''. A normal acronym is a word derived from the initial letter(s) of the words of a phrase, such as ''radar'' from "radio detection and ranging". By contrast, a backronym is "an acronym deliberately formed from a phrase whose initial letters spell out a particular word or words, either to create a memorable name or as a fanciful explanation of a word's origin".

Diminutives In Australian English
Diminutive forms of words are commonly used in everyday Australian English. While many dialects of English make use of diminutives and hypocorisms, Australian English uses them more extensively than any other.Sussex, Roland. 2004. Abstand, Ausbau, Creativity and Ludicity in Australian English. Australian Journal of Linguistics 24(1). 3-19. Diminutives may be seen as slang, but many are used widely across the whole of society. Some forms have also spread outside Australia to other English-speaking countries. There are over 5,000 identified diminutives in use in Australian English. A similar phenomenon also occurs in New Zealand English. Usage In other English dialects, diminutives usually imply smallness or have a childish connotation such as in 'birdie', 'doggy', or 'kitty'. While diminutives can be used in this way in Australian English, they are also used widely in a non-childish manner, with over 4,300 being recorded. For example, ''bikie'' (a motorcycle, or motorbike clu ...

Variety (linguistics)
In sociolinguistics, a variety, also known as a lect or an isolect, is a specific form of a language or language cluster. This may include languages, dialects, registers, styles, or other forms of language, as well as a standard variety.Meecham, Marjorie and Janie Rees-Miller. (2001) "Language in social contexts." In W. O'Grady, J. Archibald, M. Aronoff and J. Rees-Miller (eds) ''Contemporary Linguistics''. pp. 537-590. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's. The use of the word ''variety'' to refer to the different forms avoids the use of the term ''language'', which many people associate only with the standard language, and the term ''dialect'', which is often associated with non-standard language forms thought of as less prestigious or "proper" than the standard.Schilling-Estes, Natalies. (2006) "Dialect variation." In R.W. Fasold and J. Connor-Linton (eds) ''An Introduction to Language and Linguistics''. pp. 311-341. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Linguists speak of both s ...

Hooman
Hooman (هومن) is a Persian male name which means 'benevolent and good natured'. Hooman is synonymous to Hooman (هومن) and Bahman (بهمن). It is featured on the Faravahar of the Zoroastrian faith. The three "Hu's" are represented by the three sections of the wings of the Faravahar. It consists of the word "Hu" which is a combination of Humata, modern-day Pendar-e or Andeesh-e Nik (''Good Thoughts''); Hukhta, modern-day Goftār-e Nik (''Good Words''), and Huvarshta, modern-day Kerdār-e Nik (''Good Deeds''), and the Persian word "Man", which means 'Me' or 'I' in Persian. The name literally translates to "I have good thoughts, good deeds, and good words". Non-Persian languages do not have their own version of the name such as "men" in Mazandarani or "Mu/Mi" in Eastern Gilaki, but the pronunciation may differ slightly during speech such as "men" in Mazandarani or "mən" in Gilaki instead of the Persian pronunciation "mæn". It is the antonym of "Doshman" (دشمن), which ...
