Abstract

ABSTRACT The modern day use of emojis and emoticons has become so prevalent that it is now a new language and form of communication which must be legally acknowledged and integrated into our legal system. Our failure to anticipate and incorporate new modes and methods of communication will ultimately make our legal system less responsive to our society’s needs and further the divide between our society and legal norms. The question we must be able to answer is: ‘How about Dinner?’ Answer: ‘’. Is there a consensus on what we just agreed to? If we are to acknowledge this new language, how are we to deal with the fact that the meanings of emojis and emoticons can differ between individual, context and country?

期刊介绍： The last decade has seen the introduction of computers and information technology at many levels of human transaction. Information technology (IT) is now used for data collation, in daily commercial transactions like transfer of funds, conclusion of contract, and complex diagnostic purposes in fields such as law, medicine and transport.
