    This document discusses the phenomenon of "Doggo Lingo", an internet language centered around dogs that has developed online. It originated from memes and social media posts about dogs that sought to portray them in a cute, wholesome way. Key aspects of Doggo Lingo include using suffixes like "-o" to refer to dogs in an affectionate way, intentional misspellings, onomatopoeic words imitating dog sounds, and vocabulary focused on different dog breeds and behaviors. While lighthearted in nature, the language demonstrates linguistic processes of suffixation, diminution and the formation of new words. It provides people an escape and community around their shared love of dogs.

    The verb behaves as a noun:

    A comic effect
    Onomatopoeic introflection
    DoggoLingo is based on onomatopoeia, words of DL take meaning
    from sound
    words formed are simpler, directly similar to sounds dogs actually
    produce

    onomatopoeia is most common in interjections, words like woof or


    boof, and the forms derived from them, and that is because the
    interjection imitates the sound that the animal would make -

    onomatopoeic introflection = a process which takes place in the


    root of the word, during which a vowel in the root is changed
    ex. bark bork
    Gradable diminution
    Diminutive - pertaining to or productive of a form
    denoting smallness, familiarity, affection, or
    triviality;
    Diminution: achieved with Suffixation (-let in:
    froglet, piglet, or ette in cigarette, kitchenette)
    Double diminutive diminutive with two suffixes;
    e.g. in Polish: dzwon dzwonek dzwoneczek;

    Conclusion
    Highly productive animal language online

    New words / different variations

    Firmly established word processes

    Potential for new coinages high

    They have yet to enter the dictionaries


    Conclusion
    To enter the dictionaries officially, the words need
    to be used in published, edited work for a period
    of time

    That is not completely unimaginable

    The words are omnipresent, but we will have to wait


    and see
    Conclusion
    an escape from the mundane everyday life

    sanctuary from the bad, offering a dose of


    positivity among the ever-flowing stream of
    negativity

    dogs in general as wholesome and uplifting, no


    matter our differences
    Conclusion

    All words should be treated with


    respect, whether we like them or not.

    Words are highly democratic
