Descrizione del progetto

The main objective of the SMIC project is to construct an empirically well-founded, mathematically explicit, and computationally implemented theory of social meaning and the role that socially meaningful linguistic expressions play in the construction of personal identities. The project uses multiple approaches to study this question: matched-guise experiments, corpus analyses, and sociolinguistic interviews form the empirical basis for the mathematical modelling.
