At varsity I studied a bit of linguistics so I'm always interested in new forms of communication.

Well then riddle me this.

I rate the style is meant to convey a stream of thought type message. Others I have spoken to rate its intended to convey an inferior reasoning ability. i.e. Dog fascinated with something simplistic.

Varsity linguistics...go.

Also...interesting parallels to the cat thing (I can haz cheese burger).

Ooooooh. Good parallel you draw there between the cat and dog memes. It is rooted in the basic anthropomorphic attributes that humans like to associate with animals (or devices for that matter). Personally I believe that a lot can be learned from a person by documenting the memes they chose to forward. I'm not well versed in psychology, but I am sure there is an underlying reason why some people prefer the "doge" meme to the general "i can haz" (cat) one. And I think it is not merely an indication of being a dog or cat person. Maybe it's a submissive (dog)/dominant (cat) situation?

Could well be that "lolcatz" has fallen away and lost it's popularity, and "Doge" is the more popular meme of choice at this point in time?

The whole dodge, theme in what I have observed can also be based on the simple fact that the dog is a Japanese Shiba (Shiba Inu) breed, so broken english is a way of communicating a sense of how asian people can't pronounce our wording correctly, so the dog being asian uses simple broken english to communicate a simple joke.

Other than that, it's a meme. It will be popular for a few months then fall back into it's niche (/r/doge and 4chan sub channels)
