AB - The era of new media has brought great changes not only to human societies, but also to human languages. The influence of Internet on Chinese neologisms has been more increasing since 2010. China National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center releases the Top Ten New Words in the Chinese Media once a year from 2011, and also releases the Top Ten Network Buzzwords in China once a year from 2012. According to the analysis of the 80 words of the Top Ten New Words in the Chinese Media from 2011 to 2018, we know these words have several different sources. The largest source is government, there are 30 new words that came from it. The secondary largest sources are the folk and industries, there are 17 new words came from the folk, and another 17 new words derived from various industries. According to the analysis of the 32 new words of the Top Ten Network Buzzwords in China from 2012 to 2018, there are 4 new words derived from media, and 28 came from the folk. On the whole, from 2011 to 2018, two kinds of new words, which came from the folk and government, accounted for the largest proportion of the total number of the Chinese neologisms according to their source. The emergence of a large number of Chinese new words derived from the folk is directly related to the great prosperity of new media, especially we media. The novel and lively characteristics of Chinese new words came from the folk in meaning and style, are to a large extent related to the following factors: changes in Chinese society, the younger of the persons who make and use new words, and the promotion of various media, especially new media.
