Investor emotions and market bubbles

AbstractAsset pricing bubbles are highly emotional market episodes. Despite this, investor emotions are not part of traditional bubble models. We measure the powerful affects influencing investor decisions during speculative market bubbles directly employing textual analysis of media narratives and domain-specific emotion keyword dictionaries and show how understanding investor emotional dynamics helps explain market behavior. Specifically, we focus on the two Chinese stock market bubbles of 2005–2008 and 2014–2016; there is no evidence of investor learning from experience. Despite Chinese media being censored we show it still has strong explanatory power although the independent English language media can provide an additional perspective. Deeper emotions dominate more superficial feelings in information content.

The Phenomenon of Contemporary Youth's "Bai Lan": Cultural Construction and Media Communication

As a new variant of youth subculture, "Bai Lan" reflects the youth's stance expression and value orientation in the Internet era. Through network ethnographic analysis and semi-structured interview, this paper systematically sorts out the cultural characteristics, evolution process and complex motives of the phenomenon, and makes an in-depth analysis of the unintended consequences brought by the phenomenon in the process of dissemination, forming three research findings: First, the phenomenon is a cultural product formed by young people who weaken their identity and deconstruct traditional values under their own development difficulties; Second, the generation, expression and dissemination of "Bai Lan" culture are interactive processes between individual youth, groups and network media; Third, youth "Bai Lan" is a kind of strategic behavior, whose subjective motives can be divided into emotions and pressure vent, self-protection and self-benefit maximization. In the process of "Bai Lan", negative language framework and media distorted narrative are likely to cause objective adverse effects on youth's cognitive orientation and behavior choice.

TABOO WORDS IN 33 MINUTES OF CHRISS ROCK YOUTUBE VIDEO: SOCIOLINGUISTICS STUDY

This research aims to classify types of taboo words and analyze the function of taboo words in Chris Rock's 33-minute YouTube channel; This research aims to classify types of taboo words and analyze their functions in Chris Rock's 33-minute YouTube performance. The study is based on the theories of Batistella (2005) and Raymond D. Liedlich (1973). Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data was sourced from the Laugh Planet YouTube Channel. The findings reveal three types of taboo words: obscenity, epithet, and profanity. Specifically, there were 3 instances of obscenity (1.7%), 1 epithet (5%), and 1 profanity (5%). Additionally, four functions of taboo words were identified: creating attention, endearment, discredit, and providing catharsis. The analysis found 2 instances of creating attention (2.5%), 1 of endearment (5%), 1 of discredit (5%), and 1 of providing catharsis (5%). Among these, obscenity was the most frequently used type of taboo word, while creating attention emerged as the most common function. The study underscores the prevalence and diverse roles of taboo language in comedic performances, highlighting how such words are strategically employed to engage audiences, express affection, criticize, and release emotions. Chris Rock's skillful use of taboo language not only enhances his comedic impact but also reflects broader linguistic and social dynamics. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced ways in which comedians use taboo words to connect with their audiences and convey complex messages, ultimately enriching the discourse on language and humor in contemporary media.

Electronic media exposure, parental language input, and child vocalizations in rural and peri-urban China

To examine the association between electronic media exposure and parental language input, Language Environment Analysis technology was used to collect data on electronic media exposure and parental language input in 158 peri-urban and rural households with children aged 18–24 months in southwestern China. The sounds children made and the sounds they heard were quantified. Multiple linear regression and quantile linear regression were used to determine the relationship between electronic media and the outcomes of interest. The results showed that each hour of electronic media exposure was associated with reduced conversational turn count (p < .05) and child vocalization count (p < .05). A large share of the reduction was driven by the higher quantile of children. Reductions associated with electronic exposure were also observed in number of segments and conversational turns. These results may help explain the association between child electronic media exposure and language delay in an under-studied and at-risk population.

'People Like Us Would Have No Clue If the Information Is Online': Exploring Understanding and Sources of Hepatitis B Information Among Vietnamese Australians.

Socio-cultural and behavioural factors are often not adequately considered in designing health promotion programs for culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Australia. Given that people of Vietnamese background are disproportionately impacted by hepatitis B, the aim of this research was to better understand these factors to inform hepatitis B health promotion messages for the Vietnamese community. Twenty participants (four living with hepatitis B) were interviewed by a Vietnamese-speaking researcher. The interview sessions explored beliefs about health, the body and liver; knowledge and attitudes about hepatitis B vaccines, testing, clinical management and stigma; and sources of health information and value given to information on social media. Participants had a range of understandings of health and hepatitis B which informed their responses to health education and intervention. Participants appeared to have limited knowledge and misconceptions about transmission, prevention, treatment, and management of hepatitis B. Stigma surrounding hepatitis B was apparent, with over half the participants reporting that they distanced themselves from people living with hepatitis B. Participants preferred online information resources for younger people and traditional media in the Vietnamese language for older people. By understanding what Vietnamese people know about hepatitis B and how they access health information, these findings can be used to inform health promotion campaigns using print, media, and radio to ensure wide reach. Knowledge of community specific information is key to reducing the burden of hepatitis B among culturally and linguistically diverse communities and ensuring they are able to access healthcare services for testing, monitoring, and care.

Development of Neuroscience-Based Biology Learning Media to Increase Learning Motivation and Cognitive Learning Outcomes of Tenggarong High School Students

Neuroscience-based learning is a field of neuroscience study that focuses on studying educational concepts from the perspective of the brain's working system. It turns out that teachers and parents still rarely pay attention to this field of study, which has led to the emergence of a learning atmosphere that is passive and not optimal in stimulating nerve cells in the human brain. The results of initial observations carried out on 22-28 April 2021 on high school teachers and students in Tenggarong (SMA Negeri 1 Tenggarong, SMA Negeri 2 Tenggarong, SMA Negeri 3 Tenggarong) showed that there were still many (85%) It was found that teachers still relied on verbal language, image/animation media, PowerPoint and only a few (15%) were varied in their use of biology learning media, although based on interviews they said they understood audio, visual and audiovisual media well enough. Likewise with learning with neuroscience-based media, from the interview results, generally (85%) were not familiar with biology learning with neuroscience-based media and only a few (15%) were familiar with and had implemented it in biology learning. The same thing applies to students' cognitive learning outcomes from interviews that I found that students' abilities were generally moderate and low. This is because students think that biology is a rote subject and are less motivated when learning. This research method is Research and Development (R&amp;D) Sivasailam Thiagarajan. The main objective of this development research method is to produce products and determine the feasibility of products developed in the form of neuroscience-based learning videos which are limited to the circulatory system. The research subjects included four validator experts, namely media experts, materials experts, language experts and learning tools experts. Class XI students as the research sample consisted of two classes, namely the control class and the experimental class. The results of the research show that the validity of learning media is in the valid category (79.95%), the practicality of learning media is in the very good category (83.37%), and also the effectiveness of neuroscience-based learning media in providing a high increase in learning motivation (Gain score = 0 .73) and t test analysis (t count &lt; 0.05) via the SPSS application.

Linguistic diversity in media and state language proficiencies: evidence from Hungarian minority regions in central-Eastern Europe

ABSTRACT Can linguistic diversity in the media impede state language proficiency? In this paper, we test the extent to which the availability of minority languages in the media affects state language proficiency for ethnic minorities. We take advantage of an exogeneous development: The rapid expansion of Budapest-originating media outside Hungary in the mid-2000s transformed the media landscape in neighbouring states. Using an original survey data of ethnic Hungarians in minority regions in four Central-Eastern European states over two waves, we find (1) the availability of minority language media means minorities are consuming less media in the state language, which in turn induces low levels of state language proficiency – i.e. through an exogeneous exposure mechanism; and (2) minorities with weaker state language proficiency choose to consume minority language media – i.e. through an endogenous selection mechanism. The results suggest a strong relationship between the language of media consumption and linguistic proficiency.

Textism in the Classroom: A Writing Destruction for School Learners in South Africa

The rise of the Third Industrial Revolution (3IR) introduced various interactive digital platforms such as computer-mediated communication (CMC). These platforms include social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Instagram. During the exchange of messages, social media users use language distinctively to express their thoughts. Both conventional and non-conventional writing styles manifest. For instance, while others use well-formed language in line with the conventions of a standard language, some use unconventional language, which is termed multiple names such as textism, texteese, and social media language. Since most of the social media users’ age profiles match the age group of learners in secondary schools, it became necessary for this study to explore the possible impact of social media on learners’ academic writing, particularly in the official indigenous languages of South Africa. This study used a qualitative research approach to explore the impact of social media on learners’ writing of the Sepedi language in 10 secondary schools in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. Using focus group interviews and document analysis, the paper discovered that learners’ application of writing mechanics such as grammar and punctuation marks are affected by social media. The paper is conceptualised through cultivation theory.

Dose My Opinion Count? A CNN-LSTM Approach for Sentiment Analysis of Indian General Elections

Sentiment analysis on social media platforms is a critical area of research for understanding public opinion, particularly during significant events like elections. This paper presents a sentiment analysis study using datasets from Reddit. Traditional sentiment analysis methods, while useful, often struggle with the informal and diverse nature of social media language, including sarcasm and contextual nuances. To address these challenges, we explore the use of a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. This CNN-LSTM approach leverages the strengths of both architectures, capturing local features and contextual dependencies in the text. Our study aims to enhance sentiment classification accuracy and demonstrate the efficacy of the CNN-LSTM model in processing large-scale social media datasets.

Studying the Impact Of D.P.SL Model on Online Identity Management

This paper investigates online identities through social media language use, with a focus on classifying online identity within textual conversations. It sheds light on how Demographic (D) groups and Personality (P) impact the use of Social-Media Language (SL) for identity representation online. This study was conducted in 2023 when there were 4.76 billion social media users worldwide, making it essential to study how social media language is used in textual conversations to convey online identity. The study defines social media language as consisting of emoticons/emojis, abbreviations, and mixed language within textual conversations, which have become essential for expressing feelings and emotions during conversations. The D.P.SL based survey conducted for this work aimed to understand how demographic groups and personality are related to social media language. Based on the total number of social media user worldwide, 400 responses (required based on Cochran and Yamane’s formulae sample-size calculation) and the survey was distributed across various verified online survey exchange platforms. However, 406 responses were recorded with young people in age groups of 18-24 and 25-34 using social media language more as it has become a part of their social media habits. The study also found that emoticons/emojis and slang abbreviations with letter reduplication were quite common, making conversations lively and funny. Additionally, individuals whose primary language is not English use their native language but type in English for quick communication. Subsequent study is to be conducted using online mock group conversations between participating respondents to further understand correlations, causation, and concurrency on how ‘online identity’ is managed during online communications via social media language, its context of use, and polarity sentiment.

Words with the Prefix De- in the Ukrainian Online Media: Structure, Semantics, Tonality

The article is devoted to the analysis of the words with the prefix de- used in the language of mass media before the war (basing on the materials of Den newspaper published in September 2021) and during the war (on the example of Den newspaper materials published in October-November 2022 and some other online media). The research provides structural and semantic, etymological, statistical analysis and studies the tone expressed by the examined lexemes found in the texts. The prefix de- originates from Latin and means negation in the new-formed words. In the 51 materials of Den newspaper devoted to the economic and political events of the pre-war period (September 2021), 6 words with prefix de- were found. During the war, 19 units, including 4 units which were often repeated at the beginning of the persiod, were found in the analyzed resources. These lexemes are divided into three semantic groups, namely 1) downward movement, decline; 2) reduction, cancellation; 3) elimination, liquidation. It is marked that since the Russian invasion to Ukrainian, journalists have started to actively use the words directly related with the war: demilitarization, demobilization, demoralization, denazification, denationalization, deoccupation, desatanization, destabilization. The lexemes demilitarization, denazification, denationalization, desatanization express irony in the materials of Ukrainian journalists because these words are used by the aggressor to justify goals of the military invasion to Ukraine. In the majority of words, the prefix de- is used to make a word negative, but if a word is initially of negative meaning, the new-formed word with the prefix de- gets positive semantics. Most lexemes with the prefix de- attribute the text with a positive tone. Nevertheless, there are sentences with a negative, a neutral and an ironic tone. According to the etymology, almost all words with prefix de- are of foreign origin. According to the way of formation, the words with the prefix de- are divided into 1) those formed from nouns by adding the prefix; 2) those formed from verbs by adding the suffix. It is confirmed that lexemes like detoxification, de-shadowing, decommunization, destabilization, deregulation, demonopolization are not found in the Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in eleven volumes, but are recorded in the Dictionary in twenty volumes. It means that these words have been first used in the 21st century. The lexemes de-Stalinization, desatanization, de-russification, depigmentation, deoccupation, debureaucratization are not found among the words registered in these explanatory dictionaries.

Multilingual Habitus and Language Prestige: Value Profiles of Croatian, English, German, and Italian in Croatia

In a multilingual world, languages represent various forms of capital in society and gain or lose prestige depending on how transferable they are perceived to be into social, cultural, economic, and symbolic capital. The dominance of the English language and social media content in the Information Age affects people’s language worldwide. In many countries, there is a significant trend toward diglossia, where the national language is used alongside English, leading to the marginalization of all other languages. In Croatia, an EU member state, the most popular foreign languages are English, German, and Italian. However, due to the linguistic dominance of English, foreign languages other than English have experienced a loss of status. This shift implies that people’s perceptions of the types of capital those languages represent are changing and that there is a movement from multilingualism toward diglossia. This goes against the strongly promoted idea of multilingualism in the EU, where language variety is considered a valuable form of symbolic and cultural capital. Within that framework, this study aims to examine the attitudes of multilingual speakers in Croatia toward the four languages included in the study. The goal is to determine whether they perceive a language to represent a form of social, cultural, economic, or symbolic capital. Furthermore, based on the results, it will be concluded whether multilingual language practice is affected and whether there is a clash between the desired multilingual habitus of European citizens and their perceptions of language values, which determine their language choices.
