Abstract

The use of Internet services that facilitate the textual type communication implies the privation of all those elements that constitute the non verbal communication of a face to face interaction. To replace this absence in the communication, a new language has arisen in the Net formed by small figures denominated “smileys”. These express the psychic and emotional state of communicants.
