title = {Language and Division in Swedish Social Media Discourse},
abstract = {The study examines how language shapes perceptions of
segregation in Sweden. Using sentiment analysis and topic
modeling of Swedish social media posts, it shows how social
divisions are articulated, reinforced, and contested. Drawing
on linguistic tools from SpråkbankenText, we analyze how
segregation is constructed in digital spaces and how
language both reflects and molds public attitudes. The
findings show how lexical and thematic choices normalize or
challenge boundaries, highlighting language’s role in
mediating inclusion, exclusion, and identity.},
