“…From the point of view of encoding, initial formats of the corpus were .ods spreadsheets and ad hoc .xml. The use of utf-8 was crucial at the time (2011), in particular to ensure the preservation of a subset of SMS containing the first instances of emoji (Panckhurst and Frontini, 2020). The work to make 88milSMS fully interoperable was carried out later, with the inclusion within the CoMeRe initiative, where the project adopted a common TEI format.…”

The current study is a quantitative-qualitative, descriptive, contrastive study of emoticons/smileys in English and Arabic netspeak “chatgroups”. It is an attempt to investigate different types of simleys in both languages with their meanings and functions. The data of this paper are gathered through screenshots from synchronous chatgroups that occur in real time. The size of the data is (50) screenshots, and each language has (25). The findings reveal that simleys/emoticons are widely used in both languages. It appears that English has (15) whereas Arabic has (18) different types. In English, chatters tend to use a single emoticon mostly at the end of the sentence, whereas in Arabic, chatters tend to use combinations of smileys instead of words or sentences. This indicates that using smileys is different between English and Arabic chatters. The simleys that are found in both languages have similar meanings. The functions of these smileys are also similar in both languages, but from similey to smiley.

This paper aims to identify and define the different linguistic functions that emoji can carry in French and English computer-mediated discourse (CMD). Emoji are graphical icons, representing attitudes or concepts, that can be used on any smartphone or computer with a variety of communicative roles inside a conversation. Using a multimodal corpus containing 1200 emoji and the messages in which they were used, we tested an initial typology of emoji functions inspired by previous frameworks. The quantitative analysis of the data, along with the detailed examination of specific examples, led to the construction of a new, more refined typology consisting of three primary functions (expressive, interpretative and referential) and five secondary functions (relational, politeness, emphatic, structural and aesthetic).
