表情符号歧义性的探究

An Inquiry into the Ambiguity of Emojis

摘要: 目的：探究表情符号自身的歧义特性并测量歧义程度，并研究其与自身效价和唤醒度的关系。方法：采用句子评分范式、GT-CS分数(真实置信度)对每一个表情符号的歧义程度进行测量和分析。结果：1) 只有一个表情符号的GT-CS =1，其余表情符号等都具有不同的歧义程度；2) 选择某一表情为积极(t = 13.924, p < 0.001)和中性(t = 9.000, p < 0.01)表情符号的人数在高、低歧义表情上具有显著差异，但消极表情符号中人数差异不显著。结论：只有一个表情符号是完全没有歧义的，其余表情符号都具有不同的歧义程度。本研究将表情符号按歧义程度大小排序，整理出相对连续的表情符号歧义程度表；且积极表情符号和中性表情符号不容易引发歧义，消极表情符号更容易引发歧义。

Abstract: Objective: The ambiguity characteristics of the emoji itself were explored, the ambiguity characteristics of the emoji itself were measured, the degree of ambiguity was measured, and the relationship between it and its own valence and arousal was studied. Methods: The sentence scoring paradigm and GT-CS score (Ground-Truth Confidence Score) were used to measure and analyze the ambiguity of each emoji. Results: 1) GT-CS = 1 with only one emoji, and the rest of the emojis, etc., have different degrees of ambiguity; 2) The number of people who selected an emoji as positive (t = 13.924, p < 0.001) and neutral (t = 9.000, p < 0.01) had significant differences in high and low ambiguous emojis, but the number of negative emojis was not significant. Conclusion: Only one emoji in this experiment is completely unambiguous, and the rest of the emojis have different degrees of ambiguity. In this study, emojis were sorted according to the degree of ambiguity, and a relatively continuous table of emoji ambiguity degree was sorted out; and positive emojis and neutral emojis are less likely to cause ambiguity, negative emojis are more likely to cause ambiguity.
