Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet and global media, cyber-language style becomes popular immediately. Based on the popularity of the documentary A Bite of China in China Central Television, the catchphrase A Bite of X (X on the Tip of Tongue) comes into being and finally becomes a format frame filling. On its way of popularity, China is replaced by many words, so we put an X here to symbolize the words. In this way, the catchphrase A Bite of X (X on the Tip of Tongue) is widely used not only in the mass media, but also in people’s daily life. From the perspective of the philosophy of mind, language is based on mind and it is the result of intentionality. In order to clarify the quality of language, we should understand the mental ability of language first. Just like any other remarks, A Bite of X (X on the Tip of Tongue) is the result of intentionality. In this sense, this paper analyzes the generating, evolving and description of the structure A Bite of X (X on the Tip of Tongue) from the perspective of format frame filling and analyzes the root of its formation and popularity as well as the pragmatic effects.
