Karampela, A. & Vogel, C., Nouns and Verbs in Professional Reporting of Extreme Events, 10th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), Naples, Italy, 23-25 Oct. 2019, 2019, 253 - 258Abstract:
This corpus-based study tested whether linguistic devices that can evoke negative emotions are featured in Terrorist Attack news articles to a greater extent, in comparison to articles on Natural Disasters and Human Accidents. A total of 210 news reports were analysed in terms of linguistic categories. The results showed that news reports on Terrorist Attacks display the distinctive patterns of use in the distribution of nouns and verbs than the other two categories.
