Socio Discursive Interactionism
Firstly drafted by Jean-Paul Bronckart (1997), the Socio-Discursive Interactionism stands for an epistemological point of view that evolves from the social interactionism movement, affiliated to philosophical and political contributions (from Spinoza, Hegel, Marx and Engels, to mention a few) that has been set up in the first quarter of the twentieth century through the works of Vygotsky (1986) and Voloshinov (1986).

Visual language has dominated the communication of internet users on social media and the visual language that is widely used in conveying messages is emojis.
Various research results state that emoji as a visual language is used to express something (feelings and thoughts).
Conversations on social media use verbal and non-verbal texts (emojis) to express emotions and explain the sender's meaning. However, the language phenomena found show that emojis not only function as a visual language in conveying emotions and thoughts but have become part of the structure of the text.
Conversational sentences used in social media no longer pay attention to punctuation. However, the sentences end with an emoji as a closing sentence.
