Annotation and linguistic analysis of claim types for fact-checking
Among the news items circulating in social media, only some contain factual statements, and factual claims can be differentiated by their check-worthiness. We describe the check-worthiness annotation of a novel corpus of claims obtained from real-world submissions to a German fact-checking organization: the German Crowd Claims (GCC) corpus. We iteratively adapted existing annotation guidelines, introducing the novel category of incident/event and…
Semantic differences in visually similar face emojis
The literature on face emojis raises the central question whether they should be treated as pictures or conventionalized signals. Our experiment addresses this question by investigating semantic differences in visually similar face emojis. We test a prediction following from a pictorial approach: small visual features of emojis that do not correspond to human facial features should be semantically less relevant than features that represent aspect…
“Won’t you?” reverse-polarity question tags in American English as a window into the semantics-pragmatics interface
We model the conventional meaning of utterances that combine two distinct clause types: a (positive) declarative or imperative (in rare cases, interrogative) anchor and a (negative) interrogative tag, such as won’t you? . We argue that such utterances express a single speech act, and in fact, a single conventional update of the conversational scoreboard. The proposed model of this effect is a straightforward extension of prior proposals for the s…
Tracing and classifying German intensifiers via information theory
The processing of emoji-word substitutions
In computer-mediated communication, emojis can be used for various purposes. As small graphical images, many emojis depict abstract or concrete objects ideogrammatically. We report on a self-paced reading experiment of sentences containing emojis. We tested to what extent emojis encode lexical meanings when used in a sentence context. First, we confirm earlier findings that sentence comprehension does not suffer when emojis replace words. Second,…
Die Retribalisierung der Gesellschaft
Deremetz und Scheffler widmen sich in ihrem Beitrag der Analyse von Kommunikationsstrukturen digitaler Kollektive am Beispiel der Debatte um die Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) auf Twitter. Sie diskutieren zunächst gegenwärtige Rekollektivierungsthesen und greifen insbesondere den Ansatz des Neo-Tribalismus von Michel Maffesoli auf, der diesen »modernen Stämmen« gewisse Eigenschaften zuschreibt. Diese Charakteristika zusammengefasst begreifen …
Form variation of pronominal it-clefts in written English
Clefts are well-studied as a construction which induces emphasis on its clefted referent. However, little is known about the distribution of different stylistic forms of it-cleft variants. We report on a corpus study mining data from Twitter, targeting sentences clefting a pronoun in English. We examine the following features: case and syntactic role of the clefted pronoun, contraction of the copula, choice of complementiser and use of emphasis m…
Two-dimensional Semantics
This book argues that in order to account for the compositional behavior of many near-synonymous items, semantic analyses need to pay close attention to at least two semantic dimensions: standard assertions and conventional implicatures, which express additional side comments. The discussed phenomena are clausal adjuncts and complements in German. The new analysis of 'weil' and 'denn' ('because') shows that both contribute the same semantic opera…
