Episode 8: Emoji and Linguistics, Vyv Evans, PhD and author of The Emoji Code
In this episode, I speak with Professor Vyvyan Evans, author of The Emoji Code: The Linguistics Behind Smiley Faces and Scaredy Cats, about how emoji makes us better communicators, what literacy traditionalists are misunderstanding about its power and how emojis are jumping off the keypad into civic life & city planning.

He received his PhD in Linguistics from Georgetown University, Washington DC., and has taught at the University of Sussex, Brighton University and Bangor University.
