Punctuation is a subtle but crucial aspect of written language. Punctuation has historically been used to structure written texts and serve grammatical reasons. Contrarily, a number of recently discovered possibilities for punctuation use today provide it a new function and a distinct meaning that differs from what we were previously aware of. More specifically, the tendency to use punctuation in digital communication to convey nonverbal cues and personal emotions that are typically difficult to express through other means, such as facial expressions and hand gestures in live, face-to-face communication, is an important aspect of punctuation use. This article aims to analyze various ways of using punctuation markers to convey emotive meaning
