The aim of this study is to identify linguistic categories which could be bias indicators in both English and Spanish versions of Wikipedia articles about international conflicts. In this sense, Appraisal analysis -particularly, engagement- is used to examine whether the articles are biased in favor of a group (in-group bias). In the present study, only two kinds of these resources are focused: attribution and counter. The hypothesis we are discussing is that, in these articles, engagement categories serve as linguistic indicators of in-group bias. The analysis shows important associations between engagement resources and in-group bias. The findings seem to confirm that bias is usually expressed implicitly rather than explicitly.

在英语和西班牙语维基百科上有关国际冲突的文章中存在群体偏见的语言证据
这项研究的目的是确定语言类别,这些类别可能是英语和西班牙语版本的有关国际冲突的维基百科文章的偏向指标。从这个意义上讲,评估分析(尤其是参与度)用于检查商品是否偏向某个群体(偏向群体)。在本研究中,这些资源仅关注两种:归因和反击。我们正在讨论的假设是,在这些文章中,参与类别可作为组内偏见的语言指标。分析显示参与资源和小组内偏见之间的重要关联。这些发现似乎证实了偏见通常是隐式而非明示。
