Using Emojis:Self-Presentation and DifferentMeaning Creation Approaches
Öz: Nowadays visuality is increasing. One of the remarkable de-velopments in 2015 was that the emoji ‘’, the smiley with tears of happiness- was chosen the “word of the year” although it was just a pictogram, not even a word. This situation clearly shows that there is an increasing demand for new visual forms of writing. Emo-jis allow people from different language and culture backgrounds to communicate more effectively and initiate interactions when it is needed. It is believed that emoji codes might function like a uni-versal language that is likely to solve potential misunderstandings experienced in intercultural communication. In one way it might be considered a sort of development in technology, or the other it is just a temporary crazy novelty brought by the Internet. This study mainly aims to explain the dimensions and importance of the emojis’ us-age. This qualitative study uses semi-structured in-depth interview technique. People tend to employ a sort of expressive use through “emotion laborer” emojis while presenting themselves. Emojis are traces of the transition from instrumentalism to expressionism.

Öz: Görselliğin etkisi giderek artmaktadır. 2015 yılının en dikkat çekici olay-larından biri, bir piktogram olmasına rağmen, «Sevinç gözyaşı olan yüz ifadesi; ‘ ‘ emojinin, Oxford Sözlüğünde «yılın sözü» olarak seçilmesidir. Bu durum İnternet çağında yazıya dair uygulamalar üzerinde yeni görsel üretim talepleri-nin olduğunun göstergesidir. Emoji, farklı dil ve kültür çevrelerinden insanların daha açık bir şekilde iletişim kurmaları ve karşılıklı etkileşimde bulunmalarına izin vermektedir. Emoji kodu, uluslararası iletişimin daima var olan anlama so-runlarını çözmeye yardımcı olabilecek evrensel bir dil olabilir. Bir taraftan tekno-lojik gelişmenin bir göstergesi diğer taraftan sadece internetin getirdiği geçici bir tuhaflık olabilir. Bu araştırma, emojilerin kullanıcılar için kullanım boyutunu ve önemini açıklamaya yönelik bir girişimdir. Bu nitel bir araştırmadır ve yönte-mi yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine görüşme tekniğidir. İnsanlar duygu işçisi emojileri ekspresif olarak kullanır ve kendilerini sunarlar. Emojiler araçsallıktan dışavurumculuğa geçişin izleridir.
