language is power

language is power参考：
Memes are genes of culture,existing as cultural replicators propagated through imitation; language is one form of their carriers.Memes benefit the development of language,and at the same time they benefit themselves by language in the process of replicating and transmitting.Memetically,language memes reveal,from a new angle,the law of speech spread and language replication.Memes in natural language can be reflected in three aspects:educating and passing on knowledge,language applying,information-communicating and exchanging.This paper holds that there are two ways for memes to be replicated and transmitted:the same core content being inherited in various forms,and the identical set pattern being followed by different contents.The former is of memetic genotype,and the latter memetic phenotype.This paper also analyses the impact of language memes on translation,culture and language teaching.Finally,it illustrates with examples the significance of the memes and points out that they will help to promote the language evolution and its development.
