Abstract

By combining computer-assisted quantitative linguistic analysis and critical discourse analysis, this study compares Twitter discussions on climate change and global warming within a decade, to investigate the convergence or divergence of distribution of key concepts and embeddedness of moral judgements according to the moral foundation theory. Results show that the two topics varied a lot in the semantic categories of keywords, but their distinction in moral expression was smaller.
