LOCO : the 88-million-word language of conspiracy corpus
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
The spread of online conspiracy theories represents a serious threat to society. To understand the content of conspiracies, here we present the language of conspiracy (LOCO) corpus. LOCO is an 88-million-token corpus composed of topic-matched conspiracy (N=23,937) and mainstream (N=72,806) documents harvested from 150 websites. Mimicking internet user behavior, documents were identified using Google by crossing a set of seed phrases with a set of websites. LOCO is hierarchically structured, meaning that each document is cross-nested within websites (N=150) and topics (N=600, on three different resolutions). A rich set of linguistic features (N=287) and meta-data includes upload date, measures of social media engagement, measures of website popularity, size, and traffic as well as political bias and factual reporting annotations. We explored LOCO’s features from different perspectives showing that documents track important societal events through time (e.g., Lady Diana’s death, Sandy Hook school shooting, coronavirus outbreaks) while patterns of lexical features (e.g., deception, power, dominance) overlap with those extracted from online social media communities dedicated to conspiracy theories. By computing within-subcorpus cosine similarity, we derived a subset of the most representative conspiracy documents (N=4,227), which, compared to other conspiracy documents, display prototypical and exaggerated conspiratorial language and are more shared on Facebook. We also show conspiracy website users navigate to websites via more direct means than mainstream users, suggesting confirmation bias. LOCO and related datasets are freely available at https://osf.io/snpcg/.
