摘要:

非人化是一种有害的心理过程,往往导致极端的群体间偏见、仇恨言论和针对目标社会群体的暴力。尽管有这些严重的后果和丰富的可用数据,去人性化尚未进行大规模的计算研究。借鉴社会心理学的研究,我们创建了一个计算语言学的框架来分析非人性化的语言,通过识别非人性化的显着组成部分的语言相关。然后,我们应用这个框架来分析1986年至2015年《纽约时报》对LGBTQ人群的讨论。总的来说,随着时间的推移,我们发现对LGBTQ人群的描述越来越人性化。然而,我们发现同性恋这个标签与非人性化的态度比其他标签,如同性恋,有更强的联系。我们提出的技术强调了围绕边缘群体的语言变异和话语变化的过程。此外,大规模分析非人性化语言的能力对于自动检测和理解媒体偏见以及在线辱骂性语言具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

Dehumanization is a pernicious psychological process that often leads to extreme intergroup bias, hate speech, and violence aimed at targeted social groups. Despite these serious consequences and the wealth of available data, dehumanization has not yet been computationally studied on a large scale. Drawing upon social psychology research, we create a computational linguistic framework for analyzing dehumanizing language by identifying linguistic correlates of salient components of dehumanization. We then apply this framework to analyze discussions of LGBTQ people in the New York Times from 1986 to 2015. Overall, we find increasingly humanizing descriptions of LGBTQ people over time. However, we find that the label homosexual has emerged to be much more strongly associated with dehumanizing attitudes than other labels, such as gay. Our proposed techniques highlight processes of linguistic variation and change in discourses surrounding marginalized groups. Furthermore, the ability to analyze dehumanizing language at a large scale has implications for automatically detecting and understanding media bias as well as abusive language online.
