AI中文摘要：
阿拉伯YouTube情感公众的情感语域是什么？为探究这一问题，我们围绕与也门、沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克、约旦和叙利亚相关的社会政治主题，收集了67725条YouTube评论，并采用统一的情感与情绪分析管道进行分析。研究结果显示，存在一个单一的区域情感公众，而非五个独立的国家情感公众。在所有五个面向国家的语料库中，情感均以负面为主，且各国的情绪画像在结构上具有相似性。这种共享的语域仍存在一些区域差异：相关论述围绕国家层面的政治行为者和跨境历史创伤人物展开，其中悲伤情绪使伊拉克与其他国家区分开来。情感语域的差异还与实际政治原因而非固定类别相关，我们从与美国相关内容的效价模式中观察到这一点，该模式反映了美国直接军事参与的有无。本研究表明，阿拉伯YouTube情感公众的情感语域是一个具有历史分层和地理条件的共享语域，这对中东和北非（MENA）地区的公共外交具有启示意义。
英文摘要：
What is the emotional register of Arabic YouTube's affective publics? To investigate this, we analyzed 67,725 YouTube comments collected around socio-political topics associated with Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria using a unified sentiment-and-emotion pipeline. Our results profile a single regional affective public rather than five separate national ones. Sentiment is overwhelmingly negative across all five country-oriented corpora, and the country-level emotion profiles are structurally similar. This shared register still accommodates some regional variations: discourse is organized around country-level political actors and cross-border historical trauma figures, and grief singularizes Iraq from the other countries. The differences in emotional register also tracks lived political causes rather than fixed categories, which we observe from patterns of the valence of US-related content, that tracks the presence or absence of direct US military engagement. Our work shows that the emotional register of Arabic YouTube's affective publics is a shared one that is historically layered and geographically conditioned, which has implications for public diplomacy in the MENA region.
