We are delighted to invite chapter proposals for our upcoming edited
volume:
Sociolinguistics of Emojis: Implications for Customer Psychology and
Behavior
(Under consideration with Springer, Edward Elgar, and Bentham Science)
This book explores how emojis function as sociolinguistic tools in
digital communication—shaping tone, politeness, stance, and perception
across platforms like customer service chat, CRM, B2B messaging,
influencer ecosystems, and D2C apps. We are especially interested in
work that links language use to outcomes such as trust, persuasion,
complaint resolution, and user experience.
We welcome submissions across:
 - Empirical studies (qualitative, quantitative, experimental)
 - Theoretical or methodological contributions
 - Applied case studies with analytical depth
Abstract deadline (about 350 words): 22 March 2026
Chapter length: 6,000–8,000 words
