	title        = {Introduction: Vaccine Hesitancy and the COVID-19 Crisis in the Nordic Countries},
	abstract     = {Already in 2019, WHO singled out the increase of vaccine hesitancy as one of the ten most important and urgent threats to global health. Little did people know then of the heated vaccine discussions waiting around the corner, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic that set some countries on something reminiscent of a war footing. The mass vaccinations against the coronavirus in the early 2020s were seen by many as a blessing that promised a return to normalcy after lockdowns and other social restrictions. But some citizens actively resisted vaccination, claiming that the vaccines were not safe and questioning the public authorities’ trustworthiness. At the same time, the Nordic region is regarded as a world leader when it comes to societal trust. This tension between the high-trust Nordic societies and the distrust in the COVID-19 vaccines among a minority is in focus in this volume. It also gives insights into the political tensions between these neighbouring nations, and the public discourses taking place in the region during intense phases of the pandemic. The book explores three interrelated research themes: Nordic societal trust under stress; COVID-19 in Nordic public discourses; and the growing chorus on the margin.},

	title        = {Vaccine Hesitancy in the Nordic Countries: Trust and Distrust During the COVID-19 Pandemic},
	abstract     = {Bringing together studies from across the Nordic region, this book examines the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on vaccine hesitancy. Shedding light on the political tensions that emerged as a result of the pandemic and the debates that ensued both within and between the Nordic nations, it investigates the vociferous discussions surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines and their presumed negative side effects through the lens of trust; trust in and between the neighbouring countries, in healthcare systems, fellow citizens, and experts; in public authorities, politicians, researchers, journalists, and pharmaceutical companies. The first volume to explore vaccine hesitancy in the Scandinavian context, this ground-breaking volume offers fresh perspectives on vaccine scepticism not as a form of ignorance or lack of knowledge, but as a manifestation of a more fundamental lack of faith in modern government and science. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, politics, anthropology, media studies, communication and cultural studies with interests in public health, popular and political discourse and questions of public trust. },

	abstract     = {Swedish computational lexicography has a long history at the University of Gothenburg, both in its primary role as a central aspect of the scientific study of vocabulary and also as an infrastructural component for conducting research based on language data. Starting in the 1960s, the Språkdata research group pioneered corpus-supported lexicography for Swedish, forming the basis for successive editions of the two main descriptive dictionaries of contemporary Swedish, SAOL and SO. Language technological lexical resources for Swedish have been developed by the research unit/research infrastructure Språkbanken Text since the turn of the millennium, most recently in the framework of the Swedish FrameNet++initiative. After two decades of separation, these two largely mutually independently developed strands of computational lexicography have now joined forces under the umbrella of Språkbanken’s lexical research infrastructure to advance the field technically, methodologically, and scientifically.},

	title        = {Annotation for computational argumentation analysis: Issues and perspectives},
	abstract     = {Argumentation has long been studied in a number of disciplines, including several branches of linguistics. In recent years, computational processing of argumentation has been added to the list, reflecting a general interest from the field of natural language processing (NLP) in building natural language understanding systems for increasingly intricate language phenomena. Computational argumentation analysis – referred to as argumentation mining in the NLP literature – requires large amounts of real-world text with manually analyzed argumentation. This process is known as annotation in the NLP literature and such annotated datasets are used both as “gold standards” for assessing the quality of NLP applications and as training data for the machine learning algorithms underlying most state of the art approaches to NLP. Argumentation annotation turns out to be complex, both because argumentation can be complex in itself and because it does not come across as a unitary phenomenon in the literature. In this survey we review how argumentation has been studied in other fields, how it has been annotated in NLP and what has been achieved so far. We conclude with describing some important current and future issues to be resolved.},
