Fine-Grained Detection of Solidarity for Women and Migrants in 155 Years of German Parliamentary Debates (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Traditionally, solidarity relied on common identity and reciprocity, potentially excluding out-groups like migrants. |
| Approach: | They examine the frequency of (anti-)solidarity towards women and migrants in German parliamentary debates between 1867 and 2022. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms other models in the analysis of 2,864 text snippets and finds that solidarity with migrants outweighs anti-solidarity but frequencies and solidarity types shift over time. |
How to Do Politics with Words: Investigating Speech Acts in Parliamentary Debates (2024.lrec-main)

| Challenge: | a new perspective on framing through the lens of speech acts investigates how politicians make use of different pragmatic speech act functions in political debates. |
| Approach: | They propose a new framework for framing through the lens of speech acts and an annotation scheme for political debates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can predict speech acts with an avg. F1 of around 82.0% . the proposed framework is based on a dataset of German parliamentary debates . |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Identifying who says what to whom is an essential prerequisite for analysing human communication. |
| Approach: | They propose a new corpus for speaker attribution in german parliamentary debates . the data includes more than 7,700 manually annotated events of speech, thought and writing . they then apply their model to predict speech events in 20 years of debates and investigate the use of factives in the rhetoric of MPs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model predicts speech events in 20 years of debates and investigates the use of factives in the rhetoric of MPs. |
Moral Framing in Politics (MFiP): A new resource and models for moral framing (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have focused on detecting moral values in political communication, trying to identify moral frames used by political actors or parties to convey their messages. |
| Approach: | They propose to code German parliamentary debates to identify moral framing and to detect subtle differences in politicians’ moral framming. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model distinguishes between different types of moral frames and includes narrative roles, together with the moral foundations for each frame. |
