Abstract

As the most open and active social group in cyberspace, higher vocational college students have adopted network discourse as an important form of interpersonal communication and self-expression. Cyberspace is characterized by its virtuality, anonymity, and entertainment value, where different discourse subjects continuously aggregate and interact in digital forms. This, to a certain extent, has reshaped the discourse expression of higher vocational college students, leading to a more vulgarized pattern of online interaction and language usage among young students, which is characterized by fragmentation, compartmentalization, and metaphorization. Network discourse innovation reflects the intrinsic need of vocational students to proactively innovate, adapt to network communication modes, and integrate into the public discourse system. The potential trends of compartmentalization, fragmentation, and metaphorization in network discourse pose challenges to the guiding power and dissemination of mainstream discourse, causing a loss of mainstream discourse meaning and authority dissolution. Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the study of the intrinsic rules of network discourse, change mainstream discourse strategies, enhance cyberspace supervision, and adopt multiple measures to break down discourse barriers, creating a clean and upright cyberspace for young students.
