Semantic Connotation Profile of Online Social Relationship with Interactive Language

Published:06 October 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

The profile of online social relationship is fundamental in online collaboration studies. A comprehensive profile should describe the nature of a relationship on two levels: properties and connotation. Current studies mainly characterize the connotation of a social relationship with positive/negative signs or fixed categories which are not sufficient to reveal the specific connotation of a certain relationship. Interactive language is believed to be closely related to the nature of social relationships according to sociolinguistics. In this work, we propose to semantically model the connotation of social relationships with interactive language between individuals. We connect the features and topics of the interactive language with the connotation of the social relationship. The experimental results on English emails and Chinese microblogs reveal that the new method can profile the social relationships with more meaningful details.
