A Multidimensional Computational Analysis of Dehumanization in Incel Discourse
A Multidimensional Computational Analysis of Dehumanization in Incel Discourse

Paper presented at ICWSM 2026 in the Toxic Counterpublics session. The study introduces a theory-informed, multidimensional computational analysis of gendered dehumanization in incel discourse, comparing women- and men-associated terms across negative evaluation, moral disgust, animalistic framing, mind denial, and agency denial.

SIBling: A Multidimensional Framework for Evaluating Lexical Semantic Change with Social Science Applications
SIBling: A Multidimensional Framework for Evaluating Lexical Semantic Change with Social Science Applications

Poster presented at IC2S2 2025. The paper proposes SIBling, a three-dimensional computational linguistic framework for evaluating lexical semantic change across Sentiment, Intensity, and Breadth, illustrated through an analysis of how 'mental health' and 'mental illness' have shifted in meaning across two corpora.
