摘要
亲昵称谓，又叫昵称、爱称，是用来表示喜爱、亲昵的称呼，是庞大的称谓语家族的一个分支，是贯穿在交际活动中的一个非常重要的因素。每种语言中的称呼形式都反映了说话的人和被称呼的人的社会特征,也反映了他们之间的关系。汉英文化各自传承着自己的历史，经过漫长的历史洗刷和积淀，各自张扬着迥异的文化个性。中西方文化存在很多不同之处，在情感表达方式上更是天壤之别。中国是含蓄并温和，西方是直接并强烈。两种文化的情感表达方式都绽放出自身的文化魅力。昵称文化就是其中新生文化现象的一个方面，因此英汉昵称的语用研究也成为解读英汉个性文化的独特视角。
这篇文章试图从语用角度对昵称及其的情感表达方式进行探究，主要涉及昵称的分类，昵称的形式，昵称与文化，昵称的情感透视，以及昵称在情感语用世界中的变体这一新兴语言现象。从此角度研究英汉昵称，不仅可以弘扬传统文化，增进彼此了解，而且对促进文化交流具有重要的现实意义。
