SEQUENTIALLY Speaking

The sixth thing that Graphicons (Emoticons, Emoji, Stickers, GIFs, Images, and Videos) can do is form a Sequence.

This is when a series of consecutive graphicons are put together to tell a “story”.

On Facebook, sequences are usually formed by a string of emoji, like this one:

This might mean something like ‘Fuck you up there (who are complaining); zip it, ok?’

But on tumblr you’re more likely to see a sequence made of images, GIFs or Emoticons. 

If you see any good examples of sequences on tumblr, please let me know!!

ACTIONS Speak Louder Than Words

The fifth thing that Graphicons ( Emoticons, Emoji, Stickers, GIFs, Images, and Videos) can do is perform Actions.

This is when a graphicon is used to portrays a (typically) physical action

An action can add a nuance of meaning to your sentence like the clap emoji in the “ratchet clap” meme

And a graphicon doing an action can stand alone as a proposition of it’s own

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m Not Sure I Like Your TONE

The fourth thing that Graphicons ( Emoticons, Emoji, Stickers, GIFs, Images, and Videos) can do is add Tone to a message.

This is when we use graphicons as a way to help people figure out how to read out comments. They basically always have to go with text. And using graphicons this way can help you clarify or soften what you’re trying to say. 

Some examples from our paper:

In fancy linguistic speak, we might say that graphicons used this way are functioning as “nonverbal, paraverbal, or paralinguistic interpretation cues” and that they can “hedging the illocutionary force of an utterance”.
