The sociopragmatic study examines the use of emojis as non-verbal cues in virtual team meetings, analyzing their linguistic and pragmatic functions across professional domains, meeting types, and levels of formality. The study focuses on how emojis contribute to meaning-making in remote work settings using platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. It draws on a dataset of 50 virtual meetings from technology, education, health, and finance sectors, with informed consent from participants. This diverse sample allows for an exploration of emoji use across various organizational cultures and communication practices. The study categorizes meetings into four types: routine check-ins, brainstorming sessions, project updates, and feedback meetings. This classification facilitates a detailed analysis of how meeting types influence emoji use. The research highlights how formality impacts the frequency, purpose, and nature of emoji use in professional interactions. Grounded in speech act theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1975) and politeness theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987), the study argues that emojis serve linguistic functions beyond decoration. By emphasizing their sociopragmatic role in maintaining transactional and relational communication, the paper provides a framework for understanding how digital non-verbal cues enhance communication in evolving virtual environments.
