Communicative System vs. Hieroglyphics vs. Language
Emojis are not hieroglyphics.
- Language has moved from more concrete characters to less concrete versions, allowing humans to communicate abstract concepts. But most signs point to emojisĀ lacking the characteristics of a true language.Ā For example, when given a string of emojis, two people will not always interpret them the same way.
- Emojis cannot be combined in ways that function as a true linguistic system, meaning that, although they are a helpful bunch of symbols, they arenāt a particular, conventionalized system for representing abstract meaning,Ā like English or Japanese or ASL.

Emojis: An Interesting Evolution of Language

Whether or not they can replace English or any other formal language, emojis have evolved into a meaningful communicative system, allowing users worldwide to express feelings, thoughts, and ideas in new visual ways.Ā They represent an interesting and deeply entertaining evolution of language worldwide.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
