Inducing lexicons of in-group language with socio-temporal context
In-group language is an important signifier of group dynamics. This paper proposes a novel method for inducing lexicons of in-group language, which incorporates its socio-temporal context. Existing methods for lexicon induction do not capture the evolving nature of in-group language, nor the social structure of the community. Using dynamic word and user embeddings trained on conversations from online anti-women communities, our approach outperforms prior methods for lexicon induction. We develop a test set for the task of lexicon induction and a new lexicon of manosphere language, validated by human experts, which quantifies the relevance of each term to a specific sub-community at a given point in time. Finally, we present novel insights on in-group language which illustrate the utility of this approach.

Sociolinguistics is often concerned with how variants of a linguistic item (e.g., \textit{nothing} vs. \textit{nothin{'}}) are used by different groups or in different situations. We introduce the task of inducing lexica…
