Cao Tie-gen · Journal of Hunan University of Science & Technology · 2012
The x-kongs'(x控),which originates from the of ACG(animation,cartoon and game),comes from Japaneseコン(con) and is similar to chi(痴) and pi(癖).They are always used to express someone who has some particular complex or has abnormal preference,which reflects a sense of metamorphosis.Kong(控) is an additional quasi-suffix,which means identical or common or a kind of people.The semantics of x-kongs'(x控) is the result of one meaning category kong(控) which is multiplied by one sememe x.From the aspect of semantics,occupying one point and controlling a field will make the x-kongs'(x控) no more intelligible.
