🤩 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 @… vicom.info/projects/semantics-
