Abstract:

Emoji are now ubiquitous in our interactions on social media. But how
do we use them to convey meaning? And how do they function in social
bonding? This unique book provides a comprehensive framework for
analysing how emoji contribute to meaning-making in social media
discourse, alongside language. Presenting emoji as a visual
paralanguage, it features extensive worked examples of emoji analysis,
using corpora derived from social media such as Twitter and TikTok, to
explore how emoji interact with their linguistic co-text. It also
draws on the author's extensive work on social media affiliation to
consider how emoji function in social bonding. The framework for
analysing emoji is explained in an accessible way, and a glossary is
included, detailing each system and feature from the system networks
used as the schemas for undertaking the analysis. It is essential
reading for anyone wishing to investigate the role of emoji in digital
communication.
