Abstract:

Choosing the right emoji to visually complement or con-
dense the meaning of a message has become part of our daily
life. Emojis are pictures, which are naturally combined with
plain text, thus creating a new form of language. These pic-
tures are the same independently of where we live, but they
can be interpreted and used in diferent ways. In this pa-
per we compare the meaning and the usage of emojis across
diferent languages. Our results suggest that the overall se-
mantics of the subset of the emojis we studied is preserved
across all the languages we analysed. However, some emojis
are interpreted in a diferent way from language to language,
and this could be related to socio-geographical diferences. |
