What do the words say about you?
On Facebook or Instagram, I send “emoji” to my “friends” whom I “
follow
”, I call for “benevolence” and “at the same time”, I react to “
buzz
” and “fake news” »... And with my" selfies ", I especially expect" likes "that will do my ego good.
Words of everyday life, words of "good feelings" sometimes in fake, language tics, the words I use reveal me.
This is the subject of the book by Julie Neveux, lecturer in linguistics at the University of Paris-Sorbonne and playwright.
She publishes
