Voicing Politics : How Language Shapes Public Opinion
Why your political beliefs are influenced by the language you speakVoicing Politics brings together the latest findings from psychology and political science to reveal how the linguistic peculiarities of different languages can have meaningful consequences for political attitudes and beliefs around the world.Efrén Pérez and Margit Tavits demonstrate that different languages can make mental content more or less accessible and thereby shift political opinions and preferences in predictable directions.They rigorously test this hypothesis using carefully crafted experiments and rich cross-national survey data, showing how language shapes mass opinion in domains such as gender equality, LGBTQ rights, environmental conservation, ethnic relations, and candidate evaluations. Voicing Politics traces how these patterns emerge in polities spanning the globe, shedding essential light on how simple linguistic quirks can affect our political views.This incisive book calls on scholars of political behavior to take linguistic nuances more seriously and charts new directions for researchers across diverse fields.It explains how a stronger grasp of linguistic effects on political cognition can help us better understand how people form political attitudes and why political outcomes vary across nations and regions.

The Dynamics of Public Opinion
A central question in political representation is whether government responds to the people.To understand that, we need to know what the government is doing, and what the people think of it.We seek to understand a key question necessary to answer those bigger questions: How does American public opinion move over time?We posit three patterns of change over time in public opinion, depending on the type of issue.Issues on which the two parties regularly disagree provide clear partisan cues to the public.For these party-cue issues we present a slight variation on the thermostatic theory from (Soroka and Wlezien (2010); Wlezien (1995)); our “implied thermostatic model.” A smaller number of issues divide the public along lines unrelated to partisanship, and so partisan control of government provides no relevant clue.Finally, we note a small but important class of issues which capture response to cultural shifts.

Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is the field of study that analyzes people's opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language.It is one of the most active research areas in natural language processing and is also widely studied in data mining, Web mining, and text mining.In fact, this research has spread outside of computer science to the management sciences and social sciences due to its importance to business and society as a whole.The growing importance of sentiment analysis coincides with the growth of social media such as reviews, forum discussions, blogs, micro-blogs, Twitter, and social networks.For the first time in human history, we now have a huge volume of opinionated data recorded in digital form for analysis.Sentiment analysis systems are being applied in almost every business and social domain because opinions are central to almost all human activities and are key influencers of our behaviors.Our beliefs and perceptions of reality, and the choices we make, are largely conditioned on how others see and evaluate the world.For this reason, when we need to make a decision we often seek out the opinions of others.This is true not only for individuals but also for organizations.This book is a comprehensive introductory and survey text.It covers all important topics and the latest developments in the field with over 400 references.It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners who are interested in social media analysis in general and sentiment analysis in particular.Lecturers can readily use it in class for courses on natural language processing, social media analysis, text mining, and data mining.Lecture slides are also available online.

What is your opinion on gendered language?
Gendered language can be limiting and exclusionary, as it often reinforces traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Using gender-neutral language can help create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all individuals. It's important to be mindful of the impact of our words and to strive for language that is respectful and affirming of people of all genders. Language has the power to shape our perceptions and attitudes, so using inclusive language is a small but meaningful step towards promoting gender equality.

What is the difference between culture and tradition?
Culture refers to the beliefs, customs, arts, and social behaviors of a particular group of people, encompassing a broader range of practices and values. On the other hand, tradition specifically refers to the customs and practices that are passed down from generation to generation within a specific community or society. While culture is more dynamic and can evolve over time, traditions tend to be more static and rooted in history and heritage.

In your opinion, is Halloween a tradition or a money-making scheme?
In my opinion, Halloween is a tradition that has been commercialized into a money-making scheme. The holiday has deep roots in various cultural and religious traditions, but over time it has become heavily commercialized with the sale of costumes, decorations, and candy. While the commercial aspect has become prominent, the tradition of dressing up, trick-or-treating, and celebrating the spooky season still holds significance for many people. Overall, Halloween can be seen as a blend of tradition and commercialism.
