For our last class, Zach and I read a piece of contemporary magazine writing from David Foster Wallace. We discussed the structure and nuance of "Consider the Lobster" while reading. Zach really enjoyed the piece which is masterful for its depth of research and stylistic magnanimity. Next, we read a NY Times article about the emergent grammatical function of emojis that followed a sociological experiment designed by a linguistic from NYU. Zach and I then created sentences using emojis and tried to guess what the other person was trying to communicated. We found that emojis are nonlinear and non-restrictive in their syntax; and that they are not fully developed or functional in sentence form; and that they need adverbs and prepositions to be symbolized in some image form for emojis to continue evolving linguistically. A great last class!
