OBSERVING OPINIONS
Measuring Opinionated Communication
Dig into the EU COST network OPINION with Wendo
The European Union’s (EU) COST network OPINION (www.opinion-network.eu) is an international network of researchers collaborating to develop and integrate conceptual foundations, computational measurement strategies, and research agendas for the study of textual expressions of evaluative opinions. As a concerted effort to address one of the key challenges in the study of digital textual data, OPINION advances a trans-disciplinary, multilingual, culturally sensitive, and collaborative approach to studying opinionated communication.
This podcast allows you to dig into the network.
Observing Opinions: Thinking About Text Computationally
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Fabienne Lind from the University of Vienna, who sheds light on how computational methods transform the way we study opinionated communication. Fabienne shares her experience researching political emotions on social media in the CIDAPE project and explains what it really means to “code” when we’re working with text. We explore how computational tools help us find patterns and insights that traditional reading might miss — and why this matters for understanding public discourse today. From clear benefits to real challenges, Fabienne shows why thinking computationally is key for anyone studying text at scale.
