Systemic-Functional Grammar, Appraisal, Network Science, Hate speechAbstract
I aim at discussing the hate speech in a set of comments retrieved from a Social Media. The corpus is a set of more than 9.000 comments in reply to the announcement of a Queer Art exhibition, which took place at a museum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The theoretical framework lies on the Systemic-Functional Linguistics and the System of Appraisal. The methodological framework is based on the Network Science, which was applied to both interactions and linguistic data. The results show a system of representations based on the opposition between the exhibition and religious values. Such a framework takes to strategies based on demonisation and swearing.Downloads
