What makes poetic language different? An experiment in genre recognition using word co-occurrence networks in Afrikaans
Despite being one of the oldest literary genres, poetry is notoriously difficult to define. Nevertheless, various literary scholars draw attention to poetry’s foregrounding of language itself, as opposed to using language to convey meaning. In the current study, we investigate whether there are structural differences between Afrikaans poetry and prose when texts are analysed as word co-occurrence networks from the perspective of network science. …

Die vermeldingsnetwerk van gekanoniseerde Afrikaanse skrywers in die Afrikaanse literatuurstudie (2000–2020)
From the point of view of systems and field theory, the value attached to a work of art, for example a literary text, is not only the result of the intrinsic characteristics of the text but also includes connections with institutions such as publishers, and factors like literary prizes, the value judgments of literary historians, of reviewers, and of literary critics. The current study examines the mentions of canonized Afrikaans writers in nine …
Not just a language with white faces: Analysing #taalmonument on Instagram using machine learning

In such anti-Afrikaans views, Afrikaans is seen as synonymous with white people and apartheid despite the fa…
Open source intelligence (Osint) for conflict monitoring in contemporary South Africa: Challenges and opportunities in a big data context
With the advent of the information age, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has gained special prominence in the Intelligence Community (IC). However, the era of big data has brought numerous challenges in handling OSINT, in particular because big data comprise large volumes of unstructured data that are generated continuously. In this article, we discuss the use of OSINT in the era of big data, in particular how it relates to compiling event data, …
Employing sentiment analysis for gauging perceptions of minorities in multicultural societies: An analysis of Twitter feeds on the Afrikaner community of Orania in South Africa
South Africa is well known as a country characterised by racial and ethnic divisions, particularly for the divisions and conflicts between the white population and black population. This study uses the Twitter platform to analyse the discourse around the controversial town of Orania, a minority Afrikaner community that aims to preserve their Afrikaner culture. In doing so, we make use of sentiment analysis, a subfield of natural language processi…
