A study on emoticons – Univirtual language as a communication & socialising tool & its influences from different cultures.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the feasibility and benefits of establishing a new univirtual language – a single free universal virtual language – through research and controlled experiments on an international, virtual scale. The subject matter is not a conlang, a constructed language, but a naturally evolved and evolving combination of all of the globally accepted virtual communication elements in use today.
