The Oxford dictionaries have chosen the word of the year. After a series of studies on the evolution of language in common use, the winner was an emoji.
The common idiom suffers greatly influence of daily use of the Internet and social networking in particular. Users of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Instagram tend to refer often to the information published or viewed on the same. As a result, terms like “share, post, dashboard, like” (and the list is long) lead the majority of associations of ideas are completely different than the meaning that these words had up to a dozen years ago. Also, in our particular case, many English terms such as “like” (one for all) are entered in the current language.
The choice that the team of Oxford dictionaries have operated in the selection of the word of the year you put in front of even more heavily mutations due to changes in the language of the media. No one until a few years ago would never have thought that an emoji (or emoticons) would have been even more widespread in the United States and the United Kingdom. There are two teams for the Oxford dictionaries, one in the United States and the other in England. In the words of the year, usually choices are two, for each area of the world where English is spoken. This year, as well as the previous two, the term chosen involved the two world-wide.
Oxford dictionaries recognize the emoji laughing out loud
The emoji Smiley’s laughing with tears in his eyes was the choice of the two Oxford dictionaries team. To get there, the experts conducted a research project with SwiftKey, the manufacturer of the application that replaces the stock Android keyboard.
Based on the results of searches, the smiling face of emoji tears of joy would be in absolute term (may call himself?) Mostly used in English-speaking countries (and not only!).
The experts of Oxford dictionaries, however, reassure the emoticon will not absolutely be part of their vocabularyr “emoji” there is already the middle of 2013.
