Abstract:

This book explores the new language of the Internet which offers a middle
ground between expressiveness and speed. It also reports on innovative
lexicographic practices. Internet users want their written communication to be
as fast as that present in oral exchanges; they also want to convey feelings
and emotions, and for that they use pictographic symbols. This new system
proceeds from the same construction that presided over the establishment of
hieroglyphs and ideograms, namely the initialization of semantic fields from
basic graphs. Is this not a re-appropriation of ancient know-how? In the long
run, will this virtual society, composed of a sum of individuals aggregated
around playful projects, not be the necessary counter-power to more and more
bureaucratic societal systems? Would this system move beyond the virtual to
penetrate the real?
