Something interesting the #dhh21 #parlamint group noticed: during the UK's huge second wave, there was no obvious increase in parliamentary discourse about #COVID19, same with Slovenia. The heaviest discussion happened during the (smaller) first wave

At 1 PM EEST, also known as 6 AM EDT...otherwise I'd invite my friends to come see our project 😮 #dhh21 #parlamint

#parlamint group is using the t-SNE technique to plot similar words across countries in two-dimensional space. As this 2016 article explains, it's more complicated than you might think... #dhh21 #digitalhumanities

Meanwhile @MartaKolcz's chart shows us that 'covid' (vs. 'koronawirus') was not in vogue in Poland until August 2020 #dhh21

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

This graph by @rtgriscom shows when 'covid' overtook 'coronavirus' in the parlance of UK parliament...a bit delayed relative to @WHO's official naming (11 Feb) #dhh21 #parlamint #digitalhumanities

UK locked down in late March 2020, but only in June do we see 'virus' collocating with lockdown and restriction. Why? Well, when you impose an emergency lockdown, you don't get Parliament together to discuss it. Lifting said lockdown is a different story #dhh21 #dh #parlamint

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

@Isajamiila gives the #parlamint status update for the 6th day of #dhh21 - looking at collocation networks and differences among parties. (Also, https://t.co/K5Pt8rUaJF seems to eliminate people's fear of sitting in the front row) #digitalhumanities

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

#parlamint was a bit confused when we found that @MarcusRashford was one of the most significant named entities for the UK parliamentary corpus during covid. Then we figured out why. #dhh21 shows us that a story is often lurking behind the data #DH

@MartaKolcz made this timeline visualizing mentions of #COVID19 in the Polish parliament #dhh21 #PoliSci #DigitalHumanities #parlamint

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

Statistically, in the UK corpus, "post-covid" collocates strongly with "post-#Brexit" but with only four examples I'm not sure how much weight to place on this 🤔 #dhh21 #DigitalHumanities #parlamint #COVID19

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

@RubenRos8 giving today's status update for the #parlamint group at #dhh21. We're putting together a report describing our methodology, the size and composition of each corpus, and interesting observations so far

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

The #parlamint group is wrapping up the first week of #dhh2021. As we begin to plot keywords over time (pictured below is "epidemia" from the Italian data), we find our focus solidifying. Next week we'll embark on word embeddings and perhaps some sentiment analysis?? #DH

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

...and things they stopped talking about

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

Things the UK Parliament started talking about after Nov 2019 #dhh21 #digitalhumanities #COVID19

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

@MartaKolcz informed us that #COVID19 mitigation policies in Poland are often described as tarcze 'shields.' Common bigrams include tarcze antykryzysowe 'anti-crisis shields' #dhh21 #DigitalHumanities #parlamint

[Giulia D'Agostino @giu_dag]

having so much fun with my team! #dhh21

[Courtney Dalton @CourtMDalton]

This week I'm tweeting for the #dhh21 ParlaMint group. Follow along as we use #DH methods to discover how Polish, Italian, Slovenian, UK, Dutch parliaments have responded to #COVID19

Couldn't agree more. We shouldn't mince words here. It is racist to pretend that 11 million people, overwhelmingly people of color who've lived here on average 15 years, are not "persons" under the Constitution.

They want to return us to the 3/5 clause—and make it a 0/5 clause.
