“…In this subsection, we have used SocioFillmore to perform a preliminary statistical analysis of agentivity backgrounding in media reports of femicides and imbalanced crashes. A natural question is what we can conclude from this analysis: do the data match the expectations that we had based on Pinelli and Zanchi (2021) and Te Brömmelstroet (2020)? At first glance, it seems that they largely do: while, for both femicides and imbalanced crashes, the overall most frequent frame type is agent-focused, agent-backgrounding constructions and role configurations are the majority within each frame.…”

“…In this chapter, we introduced responsibility framing as the phenomenon of foregrounding and backgrounding the presence and agentivity of certain participants in morally loaded events, carrying the suggestion of increased or decreased responsibility of these participants. We argued that femicides 2020) and Pinelli and Zanchi (2021), in that we found a high prevalence of agent backgrounding in both of our datasets. Drawing strong conclusions is still difficult: agent backgrounding is inevitable to some degree (e.g., the use of nominalizations to refer to an already introduced event, the use of passives to make a text more stylistically pleasing, and the use of ambiguous language as a reflection of ambiguous facts), and our method currently does not take this into account.…”

“…The central idea of Pinelli and Zanchi (2021) is that, in descriptions of violence against women, the use of syntactic constructions with varying levels of transitivity -from transitive active constructions on one side of the spectrum, via passives and anticausatives to nominalization constructions on the other side -corresponds to various degrees of responsibility attributed to the (male)…”

Xiao, Xiaoyan, Yevgen, Yuqing, and Ze; and also Ludi and Marco from the AI department. I met so many people that I'm sure I forgot someone; forgive me if I forgot you, my gratitude extends to you as well! Not yet mentioned in the list above are my amazing paranymphs, Gabriele Sarti and Sara Gemelli; viva il triumpersonato! Also not (all) listed, but most certainly not forgotten, are all my friends in Groningen who made this city into a warm home where I hope to stay for a least a little while longer; and of course my other friends around the world and my parents and my sister, without whose care and love this thesis would not have been written.ne (accessed 2024-02-06; archived version at: https://archive.is/YIqNP.)12 https://www.cimec.unitn.it/en/1013/computational-approaches-to-language-and -meaning-calm 13 https://www.dutchframenet.nl/ CHAPTER 2 Frame Semantics and FrameNet for event analysisPublication(s): Parts of this chapter draw on material from the background sections of my published papers.

SOCIOFILLMORE is a multilingual tool which helps to bring to the fore the focus or the perspective that a text expresses in depicting an event. Our tool, whose rationale we also support through a large collection of human judgements, is theoretically grounded on frame semantics and cognitive linguistics, and implemented using the LOME frame semantic parser. We describe SOCIOFILLMORE's development and functionalities, show how non-NLP researchers can easily interact with the tool, and present some example case studies which are already incorporated in the system, together with the kind of analysis that can be visualised.

“…The easiest way in which this pervasiveness of subjectivity can be observed is at the lexical level: the choice of words definitely reflects social and personal perspectives, opinions, and stances (Lin et al, 2006 ). Other work has shown that more subtle ways of expressing perspectives in discourse can be found at the syntax-semantic interface (Horst, 2020 ; Te Brömmelstroet, 2020 ; Pinelli and Zanchi, 2021 ; Minnema et al, 2022 ). While most work in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing still focuses on language phenomena on which humans agree to a large extent, there is a growing interest in modeling people's perspectivization of a shared event or language phenomenon by taking into account their own interests, agenda, and how that influences the way in which communication is perceived.…”
