Within the semiotic resources available in instant messaging systems, emojis are especially appreciated by users due to the varied repertoire that offer as for its ability to dynamize the interaction. With the growth of its use, we consider the need for a methodology technique that allows not only to identify the most frequent emojis (i.e., those who have a more extended use in a speech community), but also its main functions and common interpretations. Therefore, in this work, we present, on the one hand, a methodology that makes it possible to recover the emojis used most frequently by a group of WhatsApp users and, on the other, an exploration and interpretation of these first data obtained. We applied our methodological design for the collection of a comparative sample of two Spanish varieties: Spanish of Spain and Spanish of Argentina.
Apelación en el discurso digital 2 0 1 8 ONOMÁZEIN-Apelación en el discurso digital (octubre de 2018): 01-25 Lucía Cantamutto Variación y adaptabilidad: los tratamientos en la comunicación por SMS en español bonaerense Resumen Palabras clave: discurso digital; mensajes de texto; fórmulas de tratamiento; comunicación por SMS. This article resumes the analysis of SMS in the Spanish dialectal variety of Buenos Aires, focalizing around the address forms, in light of the categories described within an economic style which "is marked by the accumulation of expressive resources" (Vela Delfa, 2005: 670) and tries to not be ambiguous (Cantamutto, 2014). The hypothesis explains the linguistic choices made by speakers for the discursive construction of SMS interactions, related to the use of resources and strategies specific to written communication mediated by mobile telephony, along with identity features denoting age and gender. As evidenced by previous analysis of the corpus SMS-CEBo (Cantamutto, 2012-2016), nominal forms and personal pronouns that are unnecessary for syntactic construction are expressed, but those elements are aimed at constructing the illocutionary force of the message and at personalizing and focusing on the addressee. Address forms, along with other expressive features, serve as affiliative traits among interacting and canalize politeness. In SMS communication, the absence of nominal forms of treatment causes adverse responses.
This paper is part of a larger study on mobile communication in the Spanish language variety of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and the peninsular Spanish (Spain) from a sociolinguistic and pragmatic perspective, which aims to identify discursive regularities and phenomena of pragmatic variation, and associated to contextual variables. Communication via SMSes, subscribed to “electronic style” (Vela Delfa 2005, 670), progressively has distinguished characteristics that differen-tiate it from other communications produced in digital environment. In the analysis, we consider the how, on one hand, despite the brevity required by character-limit, pragmatics elements of expressive, appellative, phatic functions of language are verified, and, second, how these issues reflect attitudes related to rapport management between speakers, therefore, questions of (im)politeness and, in addition, negotiation of image. These linguistics practices associated with digital literacy, as knowledge to be acquired, impact on social practices and attitudes derived from the adaptation to the context of interac-tion. Central features of pragmatic aspects related to (im)politeness, which were collected by test of social habits (Hernández Flores, 2002) implemented in both study communities, will be presented. The present study is framed within the Interactional Sociolinguistics’ approach, concepts from Cyberpragmatics(Yus, 2010) and sociocultural Pragmatics. We follow Spencer-Oatey (2000-2011) and Fant & Granato (2002) in the study of rapport management.RESUMENEste trabajo forma parte de un estudio más amplio sobre la comunicación por teléfono móvil en la variedad lingüísti-ca del español bonaerense (Argentina) y del español peninsular (España) desde una perspectiva sociolingüística y pragmática, que tiene por objeto identificar regularidades discursivas y fenómenos de variación pragmática, asociados a variables sociolin-güísticas y contextuales. Las comunicaciones por SMS, inscritas en el estilo electrónico (Vela Delfa 2005,670), progresivamente han distinguido características propias, que las diferencian de otras comunicaciones producidas en entornos digitales. En el análisis atendemos al modo en que, por un lado, a pesar de la brevedad —exigida por el límite de caracteres—, se verifican elementos pragmáticos vinculados a las funciones expresiva, fática y apelativas del lenguaje y, por otro, a cómo estas cuestiones reflejan actitudes vinculadas a la gestión interrelacional entre hablantes y, con especial atención a cuestiones de (des)cortesía verbal y, adicionalmente, negociación de imagen. En tanto prácticas lingüísticas vinculadas a la literacidad digital, como cono-cimiento y habilidades repercuten, en parte, en prácticas sociales y actitudes derivadas de la adecuación al contexto de interac-ción. Se presentan características medulares de aspectos pragmáticos relativos a la (des)cortesía verbal recogidos con test de hábitos sociales (Hernández Flores 2002) implementados a 219 hablantes en ambas comunidades de estudio entre septiembre de 2013 y febrero de 2014. El presente estudio se enmarca en los lineamientos de la sociolingüística interaccional e integra concep-tos de la ciberpragmática (Yus, 2010) y la pragmática sociocultural. Por otra parte, para la conceptualización de la gestión interrelacional, consideramos a Spencer-Oatey (2000) y a Fant y Granato (2002).
