Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.
Emilie , , .
Hi, I'm Emilie, and this week, as always, I'd like to invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on a question together.
, , , , .
This episode, like the ones before, is meant to be the start of a conversation, an exchange inspired by podcasts I listen to, books I read, and everyday conversations.
, .
My goal is simply to share some food for thought and encourage you to start asking yourself questions in French.
, .
Today, we're going to talk about emojis.
, , , , .
You know emojis, right? Those little pictures we use all the time in texts, emails, and social media.
, .
From a smiley face to a red heart, they've become a way to easily express our emotions in writing.
, , .
When you think about it, emojis are really about how we communicate and have conversations.
.
I use the word "conversation" because I find emojis truly emblematic of how our written exchanges have changed.
, , .
Nowadays, we even talk about a conversational writing style, meaning our writing increasingly resembles spoken language.
, , , , , .
When we're face-to-face, we can convey our emotions in countless ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice. These cues disappear in writing.
, , .
Well, not quite, because that's where emojis come in.
.
So, the reason we use them more and more in writing comes from our need to share our emotions.
, , .
Using images and symbols to communicate is nothing new.
Égypte, .
I'm thinking of the example of hieroglyphs in Egypt, of course.
, , , , .
The real innovation is that we can have written conversations, conversations that are immediate, instantaneous, conversations that blend text and images.
, .
This week, I want to invite you to think about the role of emojis in our language.
, est-ce ?
We might ask ourselves this question: do they enrich the language or impoverish it?
, , .
First of all, emojis wouldn't exist if there wasn't a need for them.
.
Let's look at what they bring to the language.
