In the Japanese language found on the internet, it’s not hard to find words used between parentheses, which are usually used to express the feelings and emotions of the user. However, not all of these words are directly connected to feelings and emotions despite the actual words representing specific reactions strongly linked to emotions. Sometimes these words are used to emulate a real conversation as opposed to written language on a computer by making the reader aware of how the writer is reacting to an event or opinion. In this article, the usage of such expressions is discussed from a different perspective from that of previous research, leading to the discovery of new effects such as emulating not only a real conversation, but also a conversation that can be seen as a representation of a TV scene or a picture.
