  • New Emoji Requests from Twitter Users: When, Where, Why, and What We Can Do About Them
    1 New Emoji Requests from Twitter Users: When, Where, Why, and What We Can Do About Them YUNHE FENG, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA ZHENG LU, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA WENJUN ZHOU, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA ZHIBO WANG, Wuhan University, China QING CAO∗, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA As emojis become prevalent in personal communications, people are always looking for new, interesting emojis to express emotions, show attitudes, or simply visualize texts. In this study, we collected more than thirty million tweets mentioning the word “emoji” in a one-year period to study emoji requests on Twitter. First, we filtered out bot-generated tweets and extracted emoji requests from the raw tweets using a comprehensive list of linguistic patterns. To our surprise, some extant emojis, such as fire and hijab , were still frequently requested by many users. A large number of non-existing emojis were also requested, which were classified into one of eight emoji categories by Unicode Standard. We then examined patterns of new emoji requests by exploring their time, location, and context. Eagerness and frustration of not having these emojis were evidenced by our sentiment analysis, and we summarize users’ advocacy channels. Focusing on typical patterns of co-mentioned emojis, we also identified expressions of equity, diversity, and fairness issues due to unreleased but expected emojis, and summarized the significance of new emojis on society. Finally, time- continuity sensitive strategies at multiple time granularity levels were proposed to rank petitioned emojis by the eagerness, and a real-time monitoring system to track new emoji requests is implemented.

Like 30 Posted Oct 26, 2017 SHARE TWEET EMAIL MORE TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY TUPAC POINTU A picture shows emoji characters also known a… AFP | MIGUEL MEDINA A new database introduced in a recent research paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28736776)connects online dictionaries of emojis with a semantic network to create the first machine-readable emoji inventory EmojiNet (http://emojinet.knoesis.org). (http://emojinet.knoesis.org) In April 2015, Instagram reported that 40 percent of all messages contained an emoji. New emojis are constantly being added. With the rapid expansion and surge of emoji use, how do we know what emojis mean when we send them? And how do we ensure that the person at the other end knows what we mean? It turns out that the meaning of emojis varies a whole lot based on context. Emojis, derived from Japanese “e” for picture and “moji” for character, were first introduced in the late 1990s but did not become Unicode standard until 2009. Emojis are pictures depicting faces, food, sports (https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/sport-and- competition), animals, and more, such as unicorns, sunrises, or pizza. Apple introduced an emoji keyboard to iOS in 2011 and Android put them on mobile platforms in 2013. Emojis are different from emoticons, which can be constructed from your basic keyboard, like (-:. The digital use of emoticons has been traced back to as early as 1982, though there are earlier reported cases in Morse code telegraphs.

  • A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Emoticon Usage in Japanese Blogs: Variation by Age, Gender, and Topic1
    Selected Papers of Internet Research 16: The 16th Annual Meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers Phoenix, AZ, USA / 21-24 October 2015 A SOCIOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF EMOTICON USAGE IN JAPANESE BLOGS: VARIATION BY AGE, GENDER, AND TOPIC1 Yukiko Nishimura Toyo Gakuen University, Japan Introduction This study explores how older men and women express themselves through blogging (Curtain 2004) in Japan, where the elderly population (aged 65 years and up) will comprise an estimated 40 percent of the country’s total population by 2050 (Statistics Bureau 2014), the greatest proportion of any nation in the world. Figure 1: Proportion of elderly by country (aged 65 and above) Source: Statistics Bureau, MIC; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare; United Nations. Internet usage among seniors in Japan has also been increasing in recent years, particularly since 2009 (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication 2014). One survey on PC penetration rate among elderly household reports that 78% of people surveyed (N=800 by random telephone number dialing) in their 60’s, 54.5 % in their 70’s, and 30.5 % in their 80’s possess PCs (GF Senior Marketing 2012). 1 I would like to express my gratitude to Patricia M. Clancy for her suggestions on this study. Funding for this research from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Kakenhi Category (c) 24520479, for the period of 2012 to 2015 is gratefully acknowledged.

  • Emojis: a Grapholinguistic Approach
    Emojis: A Grapholinguistic Approach Christa Dürscheid & Dimitrios Meletis Abstract. The present article stands at the interface of CMC research and grapholinguistics. After outlining which features are typical of the writing of pri­ vate text messages, the focus of the first part of the paper (Sections 2 and 3) lies on the use of emojis. Notably, emoji use is not—as is commonly done—analyzed under a pragmatic perspective, but grapholinguistically, at the graphetic and graphematic levels: emojis are conceptualized as visual shapes that may assume graphematic functions within a given writing system. In the second part (Sec­ tion 4), it is underlined that all variants of written digital communication (such as the use of emojis, but also all other characters) are made possible only due to the Unicode Consortium’s decisions; this, finally, is argued to have far­reaching consequences for the future of writing. 1. Preliminary Remarks In this paper, the use of emojis will be considered within a frame­ work known in the German­language research area as “Schriftlinguis­ tik” (grapholinguistics). As will be demonstrated, this term is not equiv­ alent to the terms graphemics or graphematics. In a much broader sense, grapholinguistics entails different aspects of writing (among them re­ search on scripts and writing systems, the history of writing, orthogra­ phy, graphematics, the acquisition of reading and writing, text design and text­image­relations, and differences between the written and spo­ ken modalities of language) (cf.

  • The Language of a Computer-Mediated Communication in Japan: Mobile-Phone E-Mail
    Modern Applied Science; Vol. 12, No. 5; 2018 ISSN 1913-1844 E-ISSN 1913-1852 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Language of a Computer-Mediated Communication in Japan: Mobile-Phone E-Mail Noboru Sakai1 1 The Center for English as a Lingua Franca, Tamagawa University, Tokyo, Japan Correspondence: Noboru Sakai, The Center for English as a Lingua Franca, Tamagawa University, Tokyo, Japan. Tel: 81-90-1436-5797. E-mail: [email protected] Received: Mach 22, 2018 Accepted: April 9, 2018 Online Published: April 25, 2018 doi:10.5539/mas.v12n5p34 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/mas.v12n5p34 Abstract This study analyzes a Japanese mobile phone e-mail data corpus (created by the researcher) of 43,295 Keitai-mail exchanged for the purpose of personal communication by 60 young people aged 18 to 30 who are familiar with Keitai-mail practices. The result shows that the Keitai-mail analyzed consists on average of approximately 40 moji (symbols) including 3 emoticons per message, showing that composition is short but not overly abrupt – generally Keitai-mail does not finish in the middle of a sentence. Non-standard textual elements, language plays (LP) such as emoticons, long vowel symbols, irregular use of small moji, and non-standard use of each type of script (e.g., use of Katakana instead of Kanji) are found to be governed by the conventions of Standard Japanese and are not totally random occurrences. Keywords: Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) E-mail, Japanese, orthography 1. Introduction This study investigates the characteristics of language appeared in Japanese mobile phone e-mail (Keitai-mail), as a CMC widely practiced, in order to deepen our understanding how the media influences languages uses in natural or daily communication.
