Quand les émotions mènent le bal
(When emotions are leading the way)

Language | French
Country | Switzerland
Topic Tags | emojis, Facebook, privacy, social media, threat
Summary | Nowadays, people don't take the time to "think" and go from one emotion to another very quickly, especially on social media. For instance, Facebook introduced its "reaction" buttons. Today, it seems that a laughing emoji is worth a long speech. Facebook can also gather its users' personal information thanks to the reaction buttons. Our communication is now based on emotions, which can be dangerous.

Language | German
Country | Germany
Topic Tags | emojis, selfie, Snapchat, social media
Summary | Selfies are the quintessential symbol of contemporary society. Selfies are less for remembrance like holidasy photos used to be but for instant communication - to let someone know how one feels, where one is, and what one is doing. The expression of emotions through selfies adopts the function of emojis but in a personalized way. Some people opt for reproducing trends such as the duckface while others strive towards originality. Snapchat is very popular because it is short-lived and there is less pressure to be perfect which is commonly known about selfies otherwise.

The new literacy culture is limited to 140 characters and resembles in fact more an oral culture in which the truth is what is screamed the loudest.

El impacto de la redes sociales en el lenguaje
(The impact of social media on language)
Newspaper | infobae
Date | 3.7.2016
Language | Spanish
Country | Argentina
Topic Tags | emojis, language threat, social media, spelling
Summary | Social media have an impact on the Spanish language with the adoption of new words such as "tuitear" (to tweet) or googlear (to google). Linguist Silvia Ramirez Gelbes claims that language is alive; it is growing, changing, and adopting new words. The introduction of new words in a language is not anything new; for example, when planes were first created, the aeronautical world had to create new words. Gelbes also states that people (and not authorities) are the ones who decide which words are to be used. Moreover, she says that although we live in a "visual culture", emojis are not a threat to our language; they should be viewed as a complement. Finally, people write more, so we witness a multiplication of spelling mistakes, but new technologies don't have a negative impact on spelling.
