A semantics of face emoji in discourse

چکیده
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of face emoji (disc-shaped pictograms with stylized facial expressions) that accompany written text. We propose there is a use in which they comment on target proposition expressed by the accompanying text, as opposed to making independent contribution discourse. Focusing positively valenced and negatively (which we gloss happy unhappy , respectively), argue how bears contextually provided discourse value endorsed author. Discourse values embody what author desires, aspires to, wishes for, or hopes for. Our derives range non-trivial generalizations, including (i) ordering restrictions regards placement (ii) cases apparent mixed emotions, (iii) where lexical content text influences acceptability emoji.

We do this by (i) demonstrating their behavioral similarity with more common anaphors (pronouns and definite NPs); (ii) presenting a general framework for understanding anaphora into which they nicely fit; (ii...
