GRAPHIC, IDEOGRAPHIC, AND PICTOGRAPHIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING AGREEMENT / DISAGREEMENT IN ONLINE COMMUNICATION (based on French material)

Abstract

The article investigates the means of expressing agreement/disagreement in Internet communication. Using the internet is an important way to communicate in our lives. In modern society, an important role is played by Internet culture, formed and developed in real-time. We have found that ideographic and pictographic means are directly related to the current problem of developing virtual discourse.

The tendency to reduce the transmitted information at the lexical level prevails in the environment of Internet discourse, so communicators resort to the use of abbreviations. This allows you to transfer more information with less effort.

Graphic tools play a special role in virtual communication to convey information and create an emotional background. Written communication loses some of the semantic means inherent in oral communication: intonation, facial expressions, gestures. As these components create an emotional background and an atmosphere of freedom of communication, the virtual text becomes "dry" and unemotional.

Currently, we can transmit information using not only text but also signs, emoticons, emoticons. When communicators think that their thoughts and emotions may be misunderstood, they use graphic and pictographic elements to concretize, clarify, or reinforce what is being said.
