😅😅.😂😂!🤣🤣🤣!🤣!🙃!😏?🥱🥱!😠😠?😡?🤐!😡? Does this mean anything to you? With the punctuation marks galore, does not mean much to me either. Well, let me provide some verbal context. The first two were added by a student who at the last minute conveyed her inability to attend the Distance Mode online lecture this afternoon. The two emoji's finally in the message gave the (at) last lie to her otherwise umpteen declarations of her serious commitment to studies, right?
Similarly, the other emoji's, too, convey something, if at all, only in connection with words and/or contexts. Oh, no, i do NOT have any itch against the emoji's. I am just trying to understand the valency of this pictorial depiction of meaning as it is the world emoji day today.
Indeed how does an emoji mean? Oh, no, do not worry, i am not about to float a lecture on semiotics. Indeed, though, how does the emoji conventions work? When two experts gave me two meanings of an emoji, i checked online, and realised that on the internet, there exist dictionaries of emoji's! Well, i did not completely want to ruin my "vision". So left it at that. For all you know, there might be high research on this newer version of the ancient hieroglyphics!
As far as i am concerned though, i devotedly love words. Emoji's, hence, are minimal in my usage though that may push me in to the category of the conservative, old generation types! It is the soul that has to be young, not the (ab)use of emoji's. Anyways, no harm wishing emoji's a long life that would wither away as soon as the speaking (gboards) become more fashionable! Alexa, anyone!?!
