Thai Social Media Comments on Thai-Cambodian Cultural Conflicts, 2,834 Samples

Sasiwimol Kongsuwan's dataset, last updated in May 2026, contains a corpus of 2,834 Thai-language social media comments about cultural ownership disputes between Thailand and Cambodia. The data was sampled from high-engagement posts on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, with 1,055 comments containing 1,151 annotated deictic markers. Analysis focuses on pragmatic functions of deixis for indexing ideology, stance, and national identity.

Use Cases

• Train models for stance detection in online political discourse based on deictic markers.
• Analyze patterns of 'us-them' boundary-making and othering in social media comments.
• Study the correlation between deictic categories (social, person, spatial) and ideological positioning.
• Examine the coexistence of hate speech and conciliatory stances within a single interactional field.

Strengths

• Corpus size of 2,834 comments provides a substantive sample for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
• 1,151 deictic markers are annotated and categorized (e.g., 41.88% social deixis, 25.89% person deixis).
• Data is sourced from multiple high-visibility platforms (Facebook, YouTube, TikTok) representing real online interaction.
• Clear methodological framework described, combining qualitative discourse-pragmatic analysis with descriptive frequency counts.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying annotated data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a specific geopolitical and linguistic context (Thai-Cambodian conflicts in Thai language).
