Emoji might have a decently-sized (though still incredibly limited) vocabulary, but there is no widely-agreed-upon grammar. You could say "man" with the man emoji or "book" with the book emoji, but how do you say "the man's book"? Just the man emoji followed by the book emoji? Wouldn't that be something like "the man reads"?
- nicoburns 6y agoIt could be interesting to create relational symbols to connect emoji
- majewsky 6y agoA good place to start could be Japanese grammar which relies heavily on relational markers (so-called "particles"). It would also be appropriate since Emoji originate in Japan. For example, to express something like "I went to the grocery store yesterday", the corresponding Japanese sentence would be structured like this: "I <topic-marker> grocery store <destination-marker> yesterday <time-marker> go-<past-tense-suffix>".
