“…In addition, toponyms are a sub-study of semantics in linguistics because they concentrate on the meaning of a place or area. This study is also often associated with geographic linguistics, namely the study of the distribution of territorial areas characterized by the naming of an area (Khomutnikova et al, 2020). This is compelling because the name of an area will partake in a transformation for centuries based on social events and natural events that occur in that area.…”

<p><em>This research investigates how the naming of locations in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia describes the geographical and social conditions in the local area. After the earthquake and tsunami on September 28 2018, in Palu, considerable geographical studies have desired to discover the causality of this catastrophic natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, behind it all, the Kaili tribe, an indigenous tribe on the mainland of Central Sulawesi, believes that several areas in Palu are unfit for habitation because of the history of natural events that have occurred. They sketch this information using toponymy that modern society has often ignored. Moreover, acculturation and globalization have made people overlook local culture and history. The present study operated a different perspective to reveal that the toponymic naming in the Palu area. Those toponyms are derived from the Kaili language reflecting geographical conditions, history and vegetation. The researcher discovered that based on ethnolinguistic fact, several zones were the hotspots of the worst earthquakes and liquefactions and reflected in several toponyms that today's society has forgotten. Using ethnosemantics tracing, historical, and geographical observation and involving cultural and indigenous figures, the researcher answered this phenomenon based on evidence. The implications and results of the findings of this study will be discussed further in the discussion section.</em></p>

Since the recent outbreak of COVID-19, many scientists have started working on distinct challenges related to mining the available large datasets from social media as an effective asset to understand people’s responses to the pandemic. This study presents a comprehensive social data mining approach to provide in-depth insights related to the COVID-19 pandemic and applied to the Arabic language. We first developed a technique to infer geospatial information from non-geotagged Arabic tweets. Secondly, a sentiment analysis mechanism at various levels of spatial granularities and separate topic scales is introduced. We applied sentiment-based classifications at various location resolutions (regions/countries) and separate topic abstraction levels (subtopics and main topics). In addition, a correlation-based analysis of Arabic tweets and the official health providers’ data will be presented. Moreover, we implemented several mechanisms of topic-based analysis using occurrence-based and statistical correlation approaches. Finally, we conducted a set of experiments and visualized our results based on a combined geo-social dataset, official health records, and lockdown data worldwide. Our results show that the total percentage of location-enabled tweets has increased from 2% to 46% (about 2.5M tweets). A positive correlation between top topics (lockdown and vaccine) and the COVID-19 new cases has also been recorded, while negative feelings of Arab Twitter users were generally raised during this pandemic, on topics related to lockdown, closure, and law enforcement.
