If you were working on your PhD you would have hardly enough time to eat, sleep and move your bowels let alone sit in front of the computer on an internet chess site.

Nobody working on their PhD would ask a stupid question like this. If you are talking about the word laughter it is obviously not the same in every language and if you are talking about laughter itself then it is an expression and not the same in every language because it is not a part of language!

It's structured communication. A structured coding/decoding system, to be more precise.
