五、讲座内容简介：

Language use in the digital era has led to the surge of lettered-words in non-Romanised languages. Some linguistic purists have concerns for these unwanted alien elements although lettered-words have become a significant part of modern Chinese lexicon. Their omnipresence has also created a challenge to dictionary compilation. What are the selection criteria? How can these words fit into macro- and microstructures of dictionaries? This paper probeed into a list of over 1000 lettered-words from a recently published Chinese dictionary, and analysed their origins, word class, and uses in modern Chinese. The findings show that lettered-words are mainly used as nouns, and can also function as verbs, adjectives and adverbs. They are extensively used in different genres by difference people. The challenge of including lettered-word in Chinese dictionaries is also discussed. Drawing on the FUDGE factor analysis by Metcalf (2002), the authors suggest that the treatment of lettered-words in a Chinese dictionary should have practical guidelines for selection, definition, pronunciation and usage.
