The Results Of The Corpus Analysis As A Quantitative Representation Of Linguocultural Concepts, Nozimjon Ataboyev Phd Student

Philology Matters

This work highlights specific lexical items that have become racialized in specific contextual applications and tests how these words are cognitively processed.

To objectively select the racialized adjectives used, I developed a corpus comprised of popular media sources, designed specifically to suit my research question. I collected publications from digital media sources such as Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Fortune by scraping articles featuring specific search terms from their websites. This experiment seeks …
