special focus on reader comments and interactions. Proposals should be sent by
email to Ms Filipa Pereira at a81712 at alunos.uminho.pt  (see ''Abstract
submission'' page).

Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: 

Language patterns for hate speech detection

Hate speech vs. aggressive speech: definition challenges

Sociolinguistic variables of online hate speech

Impoliteness Studies and Hate Speech Analysis

Speech act patterns in hate speech (insulting, threatening, inciting,

Pragmatic strategies in hate speech: othering, blame reversal, denial, agency

Building and annotating hate speech corpora

NLP (Natural Language Processing) of Online Hate Speech
