Last week, I finished a book that I really liked but the one I followed up with was a letdown so I reckoned I would finally read Elana Ferrante’s “My Brilliant Friend,” which everyone says is so great and it’s on my shelf anyway, bu then I found this old edition of GB Shaw plays and I’m reading that instead, Pygmalion first. It’s very funny — I laughed out loud in Act V. Also — spoiler alert! — it has a better ending than the 1964 film (which I love anyway!).
🤩 We spent today recording video for a new professional short introduction into our ViCom project on #emojis 📹 It was fun trying to find the most photogenic public spots on campus (as emoji research consists mostly of us staring at computer screens all day long, and is not very... visually interesting)
Very excited to show you the results in a few weeks or months! #visualCommunication #linguistics #sciComm @… https://vicom.info/projects/semantics-and-pragmatics-of-emojis-in-digital-communication/
