About

Our team-project 'From Text to Political Positions: From sentiments and opinions in texts to political-party positions' (T2PP)  combines contemporary theories and methods in linguistics and political science to develop an automated research tool for rich text-mining. The transdisciplinary relevance of the project is that a carefully constructed mining tool for language-meaning research can be applied initially to enhance the Kieskompas (Electoral Compass) and prove useful in the social sciences in general. The research will give new insights into the complexity of language use, the linguistic modeling of subjectivity and the representation of this knowledge in a lexicon. It will also shed new light on the complex dimensionality of competition between political parties. The team consists of  Annemarie van Elfrinkhof (Political content analysis), Isa maks (Computational Linguistics and Lexicology), and myself (integrating Critical Discourse Analysis, Cognitive Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics).
