Relationality and Offensive Speech: A Research Agenda
Razvan Amironesei, Mark Díaz · 2023
We draw from the framework of relationality as a pathway for modeling social relations to address gaps in text classification, generally, and offensive language classification, specifically.We use minoritized language, such as queer speech, to motivate a need for understanding and modeling social relationsboth among individuals and among their social communities.We then point to socio-ethical style as a research area for inferring and measuring social relations as well as propose additional questions to structure future research on operationalizing social context.
