Desde la introducción del primer conjunto emoji hace más de 20 años, la investigación al respecto ha ido en aumento y en una variedad de direcciones. Y una de las ramas de estudio más prolífica es precisamente en neuro. https://t.co/oPYwkyAIFa

@FMannerheim @aleskytte Att döma ut en uppsats som irrelevant innan den är skriven är tveksamt. Det blir ju en broms. Forskningen är dessutom ganska stor i det här ämnet. Jag tänker att det handlar mer om kommunikation än bara skrivande och då är det giltigt, som världen ser ut. https://t.co/KCMFVyE8QA

تماما كاللغة تتباين المعاني والدلالات للإموجيز من مجتمع لآخر ومن ثقافة لثقافة، لذلك مهما تعولمنا تقنيًا في وسائل الاتصال تبقى روح الاتصال خاصية ثقافية واجتماعية يتباين فيها البشر. مراجعة منهجية للرموز التعبيرية، مقال يستحق القراءة. https://t.co/KFWAhrEx7G
