Meeting Description: 

The issue of hate speech and hostile language currently receives a significant
amount of attention. In recent studies, a majority of social media users have
stated that they encountered hate speech at least once on Facebook, Twitter or
other platforms.

Hate speech can be roughly defined as any communication that attacks
individuals or groups “on the grounds of ‘race’, colour, descent, national or
ethnic origin, age, disability, language, religion or belief, sex, gender,
gender identity, sexual orientation and other personal characteristics or
status” (Council of Europe 2016). However, there is no consensus on what
actually constitutes hate speech. Besides, still relatively little is known
about the linguistic and communicative mechanisms underlying the expression
and perception of hate speech, particularly in online communication and social
media.

In our symposium, we will discuss hate speech considering the following key
aspects:

1. The notion of hate speech and its characteristics. Featured speaker: Björn
Technau
2. Methods to detect and analyse hate speech. Featured speaker: Nicole
Baumgarten
3. Hate speech in online communication and social media. Featured speaker:
Liriam Sponholz
