Exploring incel discourse through topic modeling
Incels (involuntary celibates) may be understood as a subculture of men frequently associated with misogynistic and racist ideologies, which have been examined from multiple perspectives at the international level. Within this field of inquiry, incel communities have increasingly attracted scholarly attention, particularly in the Anglophone sphere. However, in Spanish-speaking contexts, there is a lack of empirical evidence about this community’s…
El proceso de radicalización de la célula terrorista del 17-A, o cómo el extremismo puede dejar su huella en el lenguaje
En agosto de 2017, un grupo de jóvenes de Ripoll, conocidos como la célula del 17-A, llevó a cabo dos atentados terroristas en Barcelona y Cambrils, España, que causó la muerte de 16 personas y dejó más de un centenar de heridos. En un intento de entender lo que sucedió, y, sobre todo, cómo se llegó hasta ahí, en este trabajo de investigación exploramos la conducta verbal de esta célula terrorista a través de los textos hallados en sus ordenadore…
Risk and protective factors in the radicalization process of the 17-A terrorist cell
They really, really, really don’t like to admit they made mistakes
Besides being unjustly incarcerated, Sabrina Butler, Kristine Bunch, Ru-el Sailor and Larry DeLisle endured various forms of police mistreatment, as detailed in a collection of transcripts from the Wrongful Conviction Podcast (WCP). Understandably enough, their criminalization had a profound impact on their perception of external and internal realities. Given their unique socio-demographic backgrounds, variations in the discursive patterns of the…
They were not radical, even when they committed that
Identity conflict and the loss of meaning experienced by some Muslim young people in Western countries are key factors behind fanaticism, leading some of them to find purpose in life within extremist groups ( Adam-Troian et al. 2021 ; Moyano and González 2021 ). The narrative that emerges from the radicalisation process provides a rich source for psychologists and discourse analysts, exploring not only the ‘why’ and the ‘how’, but also issues ste…
The language of hate and the logic of algorithms
In this commentary article, we reflect on Breazu et al.’s (2025) study of human-AI synergy in analysing hate speech on social media. We explore the methodological and ethical challenges of using Large Language Models (LLMs) in (Critical) Discourse Analysis (CDA), particularly when addressing ideologically charged and discriminatory content. To initiate our discussion, we used ChatGPT to assess aspects of the original paper, employing this reflexi…
Transdisciplinary approaches to the discourse of Islamist extremism
By way of backgroundAgreeing with Allan Luke (2002: 101), we feel that doing textual analysis, no matter how comprehensive, "requires the overlay of a social theoretic discourse for explaining and explicating the social contexts, concomitants, contingencies and consequences of any given text or discourse".This is the spirit of a very much-cited paper by Fairclough and Wodak (1997), where these two critical discourse analysts claim that discourse …
A semi-supervised algorithm for detecting extremism propaganda diffusion on social media
Extremist online networks reportedly tend to use Twitter and other Social Networking Sites (SNS) in order to issue propaganda and recruitment statements. Traditional machine learning models may encounter problems when used in such a context, due to the peculiarities of microblogging sites and the manner in which these networks interact (both between themselves and with other networks). Moreover, state-of-the-art approaches have focused on non-tra…
“I Am Proud to Be a Traitor”
Neojihadism taps successfully into the Internet’s influence to disseminate its oppression narrative of Muslims vs. non-believers ( Al Raffie 2012 ). Whilst this type of radicalisation has received attention from psychoanalysis ( Kobrin 2010 ), jihadist discourse is in need of more exhaustive examination. By detecting recruiters’ key persuasive strategies, we may understand what can move people to violent action. In this paper, we employ SFL Appra…
Trump’s populist discourse and affective politics, or on how to move ‘the People’ through emotion
Recursively in history, emotions such as social anger, moral satiety, distrust of the elite and the Establishment, among others, have all contributed to politicians’ encouragement and exploitation of a rather emotionally charged discourse (Block, E., and R. Negrine. 2017. “The Populist Communication Style: Toward a Critical Framework.” International Journal of Communication 11: 178–197). In their self-imposed capacity as mouthpiece for 'the Peopl…
The Language of Evaluation in the Narratives by the Magdalene Laundries Survivors
Drawing on Martin and White’s Appraisal Theory, we study the language of evaluation in a corpus of interviews selected from the archives of The Magdalene Oral History Project. Apart from being deprived of proper food, clothing, and their identity, many of the women who spent their lives in Ireland’s Magdalene institutions had been, or were, sexually assaulted, and physically and psychologically abused. Their criminalization led them to long-lasti…
Populist Discourse
Por qué los debates políticos los ganan la mentira y la frialdad? El caso de España
El 7 de noviembre de 2011 se emite el debate entre los cabeza de lista de los principales partidos a La Moncloa, Rajoy y Rubalcaba. 12 millones de espectadores pudieron ver dos estilos dispares a cuyo análisis nos dedicamos en este artículo. A tal fin, estudiaremos herramientas discursivas que tienen que ver con la estructuración del texto, y con cómo se articulan textualmente los mundos exterior e interior del hablante. Observaremos metáforas co…
Good Evening to You, Lady of the House”
En el ámbito de los estudios irlandeses se ha estudiado con profusión el inesperado fracaso del fenómeno teatral encabezado por W.B. Yeats y en el que John Millington Synge se llevó la peor de las partes. La subversión que sus personajes implicaban a todos los niveles explica el rechazo de los mismos por parte del público que acudía en masa al Abbey Theatre solo para silbar y patalear durante alguna de sus representaciones (Kilroy 1971). Un análi…
To be Irish, gay, and on the outside
The last two decades have witnessed very important economic and legislative changes in the Republic of Ireland, which have contributed to both the reinforcement of national beliefs, and the restructuring of traditional values as well as social practices. In this context, the tendency for some extremist groups to attack minorities such as Asians or Eastern Europeans, along with the allegedly institutionalised exclusion of Travellers, contrasts ver…
Constructing Perceptions of Sexual Orientation
1. Introduction The State of Ireland becomes a reality after centuries of oppression, when very restrictive legislation, such as the Penal Laws, was enforced on religious grounds. This was followed by several rebellion attempts, the Easter Rising insurrection against British rule in 1916, the Anglo-Irish 1921 Treaty, and a subsequent one-year Civil War that divided
‘I want to be a prime minister’, or what linguistic choice can do for campaigning politicians
The aim of this article is to analyse the strategies that politicians can use in order to defeat their political adversaries. To this end, I have put some ideas developed by discourse analysts to the test, taping some of the speeches, interviews and debates of the 2000 electoral campaign in Andalusia (Spain), scrutinizing the four main candidates’ most significant discursive devices and paying special attention to the way they interact with each …
Gender, Sex and Stereotyping in the Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary
The analysis of any topic related to language and gender or sex tends to give rise to a range of somewhat diverse material. The core of the problem is not so much the bias of an approach to such a matter (which is obvious and can be easily identified), as how bias itself may organize human beings’ experience by means of language in use. There exist well-known cultural stereotypes associated with the male and female conditions, and it is necessary…
The playboy of the western world
This paper aims to reveal some of the reasons why such a phenomenon as the Abbey Theatre turned out to be more than a chance dramatic failure in the recent history of Ireland. Many of the plays performed there frequently embodied an inversion of the most sacred values of a very restrictive ideological construct that would be known as the Irish nation by the political nationalists. John Millington Synge's linguistic representation of the Irish wom…
