Dr. Mazo is examining words in France (French) and Canada (English) countries. Dr. Krylova-Grek is examining words in Ukraine (Ukrainian) and Russia (Russian) countries. News and media sites in all four countries will be analyzed for the presence, meaning, and frequency of words that indicate/suggest a form of 'hate speech'. After analysis of these words, the results will be compared for themes, commonalities, similarities, and dissimilarities within the four languages. The results are expected to be presented to both academic and community groups.
