“…As an important part of the paralinguistic cues in CMC and an emergent popular practice on the Internet services such as Internet relay chat and Instant Messaging, emoticons have attracted scholarly attention [9,[10][11][12]. Studies on emoticon use indicated that people primarily used them to express emotion, strengthen messages, and display humor or sarcasm [13] and emoticons are interpreted as a signal of emotional information in addition to a verbal message [14].…”

This study aimed to investigate the role of emoticons in text messaging on mobile phone. Results from a sample of 126 college students in Korea showed that motivations of emoticons use were entertainment, fashion, expressing personal emotions/intimacy, managing message meaning, and regulating conversation. These findings indicated that emoticons use was highly related to socioemotional context in mobile communication. Furthermore, the study found that there were gender differences in motivations of emoticons use: female students were more likely to use emoticons to express emotions/intimacy and manage message meaning than male students. Based on these findings the study suggested that emoticons played a role as a facilitator that supplements users' emotion and interpretation of message.

“…In order to create this illusion, they draw on a great repertory of linguistic devices to mimic the register that most people would find appropriate for such types of computer-mediated communication (CMC). As a closer look at example (1) shows, there are indeed a great number of features commonly observed in Japanese CMC (see, e.g., Gottlieb 2010; Katsuno and Yano 2002;Miyake 2005Miyake , 2007Nishimura 2003Nishimura , 2010.…”

This paper analyzes the language of Japanese spam mails. Special focus is on one specific type of spam: make-believe dating invitations by women looking for physical relationships with male partners. A corpus of 434 spam mails was compiled between 2009 and 2012. Looking at two of these messages in detail, the paper examines the specific properties of this type of spam. These include linguistic features commonly associated with computer-mediated communication (CMC) and Japanese women's language. Their function is to increase the "authenticity" of the messages. In a second step, I analyze how spam mail writers in their messages deal with the problem of portraying female sexuality and desire, with a special focus on the role of linguistic taboos and transgressions thereof.

“…Furthermore, while the portrayal of male yankī continued to thrive in popular media throughout the 1990s and 2000s, 15 representations of female versions of yankī, such as sukeban and redīsu, have sharply declined since the 1980s. Works such as the commercially successful Shimotsuma monogatari [Kamikaze Girls;2002] by Novala Takemoto [b. 1968] that tells the tale of an unlikely friendship between two girls-one a yankī (or redīsu to be more specifi c) and the other a rorīta (ロリータ; Lolita) 16 -are rare.…”

The rise of kētai shōsetsu-digital novels written and shared on mobile phones, predominantly by girls-in the late 2000s caught the attention of Japanese critics and journalists, as a new literary phenomenon that was taking the world of Japanese girls' literature by storm. In 2008, journalist Kenrō Hayamizu published a book titled Kētai shōsetsuteki: 'sai yankīka' jidai no shōjotachi ['Mobile Phone Novels: Girls in the Re-Yankifi cation Era'], in which he draws a parallel between mobile phone novels and the yankī culture that has its roots in 1980s youth culture. In this pioneering work, Hayamizu interpreted the emergence of the mobile phone novel as a sign of a yankī cultural revival. Although there is undoubtedly a strong parallel between mobile phone novels and yankī culture, the argument that this is simply a 'revival' of the 1980s rebellious youth culture signifi cantly undermines the role that girls play in the cultural production of such novels. Using the Wild Beast series [2009][2010] by Yū as a case study, this paper argues that the girls writing and reading mobile phone novels are reimagining yankī culture as their own.
