A new study published on arXiv explores how Transformer-based models, specifically MARBERT, can learn interpersonal pragmatics in Arabic digital discourse through the use of emojis. Researchers collected and annotated a dataset of over 8,500 emoji-posts from Facebook, labeling them for functions like politeness, respect, solidarity, empathy, and encouragement. The findings indicate that MARBERT achieved high accuracy in identifying these pragmatic functions, demonstrating its capability to understand beyond basic sentiment analysis, though it still struggles with highly implicit social meanings.
