• Põldvere, Nele & Alvestad, Silje Susanne (2021). Fakespeak – A pilot study. Vis sammendrag

  In this talk, I present the results of a pilot study within the research project “Fakespeak: The language of fake news”. The project involves linguists and computer scientists whose primary objective is to reveal the grammatical and stylistic features of the language of fake news, Fakespeak. The secondary objective is to improve existing fake news detection systems through the automation of the defining linguistic features of Fakespeak. Fake news is defined here as news items that are meant to be deceptive and in which case the author knows that they are false. The pilot study is inspired by a study conducted by Woodfield and Grieve (2019) on Jayson Blair, who was found fabricating news stories for The New York Times. The newspaper tagged the fabricated stories, resulting in two datasets, one of genuine and one of fabricated stories. The linguists subjected the two datasets to Register Analysis, hypothesising that, given the distinct communicative purposes of the stories—to deceive versus to inform—the genuine and the fabricated stories should be grammatically distinct. Indeed, they found that the features of Blair’s genuine stories were similar to those of informationally dense writing, whereas the features of his false stories were similar to those of interactive discourse. I will use the Jayson Blair corpus to extend the analysis to include socio-cognitive features of language, namely metaphor. Based on previous findings that metaphor is limited in interactive spoken discourse (Cameron, 2003), I expect fake news to make use of metaphor to a lesser extent than genuine news, thus providing support for Woodfield and Grieve’s (2019) study.

• Põldvere, Nele & Alvestad, Silje Susanne (2021). Is metaphor the key to detecting fake news? First results from the Fakespeak project. Vis sammendrag

  This study presents the first results from Fakespeak, a project which defines the linguistic features of fake news in order to improve currently existing detection systems. We explore the possibility that the key to distinguishing between fake and genuine news is metaphor, a resource for talking about one thing (usually complex and abstract) in terms of another (simple and concrete). For instance, talking about viruses as coming in waves reflects the conceptual metaphor disease is a natural disaster, where disease is the ‘target’ domain and natural disaster the ‘source’ domain (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). Previous research has suggested that metaphor is often used to describe personal experiences, which leads us to believe that genuine news makes use of metaphor to a greater extent than fake news. Moreover, we expect there to be differences in the source domains used. In order to evade issues of comparability, the data are from news written by a single journalist, Jayson Blair, who was caught fabricating stories for The New York Times in the early 2000s (Woodfield & Grieve, 2019). The dataset consists of 38 redacted and 47 non-redacted articles, which were read in full in order to identify the full range of metaphorical expressions. The preliminary results provide support for the expectation that metaphor is more limited in fake news. Moreover, the source domains used in fake news reflect very basic bodily experiences of the world, compared to the diverse range of complex and vivid metaphors used in genuine news (e.g., nature, war, sports).
