Emoji role in communicating important enough: they replace people, many non-verbal cues that are not in communication via the Internet or SMS. This facial expressions, and gestures, and intonation - all that helps to decipher the received text correctly. A slight change in tone - and joyful "Well, finally you came!" Becomes irritable, or sarcastic. Emoji are used to distinguish these nuances, helping us to avoid misunderstanding - in fact it is often the cause of conflicts.
The Emoji helpful to intersexual relations? It's no secret that men often tend to take the text literally, losing an ironic tinge. Suppose she writes to his partner: "You are going March 8 to drink beer with your friends? Okay, do what you want. " He will most likely be delighted to such support and truly gone. But add in the end of the message evil smiley - and all will become clear.
Studies have also shown that the active use Emoji increases your chances of success in finding a partner.
The fact that a text message without emoticons can be seen as dry and detached, and Emoji give it vitality and emotional. This "slight", "play" communication helps to create a romantic mood of the two interlocutors.
In addition to distinguishing between emotions, emoticons are also used to mitigate them. Real aggression may scare or upset your interlocutor, and if it is expressed using Emoji's picture, it would mean "I'm angry, but not quite seriously." In this case, Emoji can not be considered a complete substitute for live communication, the more that different people can interpret them in different ways.
Of course, all the feelings and emotions can be expressed in words, language is rich enough for it. But in today's society people simply do not have time for this, so we increasingly use Emoji emoticons as convenient. It is neither good nor bad - it has become an integral part of our communication, which you just need to accept and use the benefit as far as possible.

It is noticed that people who communicate via text messages, 40% of the worst understand partner than with live communication. When we use Emoji, we try to express the emotions that in many ways to better understand the opponent.
However, if a person uses in his correspondence or faces the sun, it is perceived more heat than candy, crackers and other rare smiles. Yes, perhaps, in some cases subject smiles needed, but otherwise their abundance speaks only about the individual preferences of the person or that the person is trying to embellish emotions.
It should also be borne in mind that not all smiles can be used for all correspondence with the person with whom you are not personally familiar. Smile as a wink or a kiss could be seen as careless communication, especially if the person you are older. I do not mind Emoji, but do not recommend using them recklessly.
