Abstract.With the continuous development of modern technology, all kinds of online neologisms on social media are widely used and new words are constantly emerging. Conceptual integration theory, as one of the most common cognitive models, is widely used in various cognitive domains, plays a central role in people's learning, thinking and daily life, and has a strong explanatory power for language. This paper provides more theoretical basis for the use of Internet neologisms from a cognitive perspective, and explores the semantic construction of Internet neologisms.
