Dr. Michael O'Donnell, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid’den ve UAM Corpus Tool’un geliştiricisi, “Exploring meaningful differences in political discourse: analysing speeches of heads-of-state with UAM CorpusTool” başlıklı konuşmasını gerçekleştirecektir.
Özet:
This talk will present how UAM CorpusTool can be used to discover meaningful differences between the language used by politicians in their speeches. A corpus consisting of 5 speeches each from 8 heads-of-state was constructed. Where possible, speeches were matched in regards to the situation (e.g., UN address, Trade conference, election victory speech, etc.). To allow comparison on the same features, where speeches were delivered in a language other than English, an official English transcription of the speech was used, although it needs to be kept in mind this may have an effect on results. The talk focuses on automatic analysis, showing how certain lexico-syntactic features can be used to indicate deeper patterns in the text, e.g., Academicness (measured through average word length, lexical density, academic word use), Involvement (use of first and second person pronouns), Subjectivity (degree of use of positive or negative words), Keywords (identification of central themes of the speaker's message), Modality (identifying to what degree and in what direction speakers distance from realis in terms of certainty, obligation or inclination), Temporal Placement (exploration of tense-aspect combinations to identify if the speaker focuses on the past, present, or future, and whether on states or events), Transitivity (mainly to identify whether the speaker speaks more of the material world, the relational world, or of emotions/cognition, or verbalisations).
