言语交流中的情绪符号：Emoji的角色与影响综述
|
Abstract:
本文系统综述了Emoji在数字化言语交流中的情绪符号功能及其多维影响。研究指出，Emoji通过直观的视觉设计弥补了数字交流中非言语线索的缺失，显著增强了文本的情绪强度与感染力，并在调节对话氛围、促进情感同步性及维护人际关系中发挥关键作用。然而，其情绪表达存在语境依赖性和文化差异性，不同文化背景、个体特征(如年龄、性别)及平台呈现方式均会影响Emoji的使用与理解。神经科学研究进一步揭示了Emoji的情绪感知机制涉及与人类面孔识别相似的脑区激活(如梭状回)及事件相关电位(如N170)。未来研究需关注跨文化适应、动态表情设计、人工智能结合应用以及神经科学机制的深入探索，以优化Emoji在多元场景中的沟通效能。
This article systematically reviews the emotional symbolic functions and multidimensional impacts of emojis in digital verbal communication. The study highlights that emojis compensate for the lack of nonverbal cues in digital interactions through their intuitive visual design, significantly enhancing the emotional intensity and expressiveness of text. They play a critical role in moderating conversational tone, fostering emotional synchrony, and maintaining interpersonal relationships. However, their emotional expression is context-dependent and culturally variable, with factors such as cultural background, individual characteristics (e.g., age, gender), and platform-specific rendering influencing their use and interpretation. Neuroscientific research further reveals that the mechanisms underlying emoji emotion perception involve brain regions associated with facial recognition (e.g., fusiform gyrus) and event-related potentials (e.g., N170). Future research should focus on cross-cultural adaptation, dynamic emoji design, integration with artificial intelligence, and deeper exploration of neuroscientific mechanisms to optimize emojis’ communicative efficacy in diverse scenarios.
