This book investigates how digital youth engage in
computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the era of social media.
Particularly focused on their uses of emoji, their motivations,
attitudes and interpretations of emoji use, Emoji Speak provides
the first book-level discussion looking at youth-to-youth Social
Network Service (SNS) communication and emoji use. Where previous
research on SNS communication has tended to focus on the English
language, in this book Jieun Kiaer explores SNS as a global
phenomenon. Presenting the results of empirical investigation
through large-scale surveys, SNS corpora, and interviews with a
wide pool of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and British youth
participants, Kiaer compares SNS communication across languages to
provide insight in understanding youth language and their emojing
behaviours. Arguing that the future of our modern languages lies
within the multi-modal and multi-lingual linguistic behaviours
found in SNS, Emoji Speak suggests that emoji use among young
people is leading to the emergence of a new, 'social' grammar.
