“…We qualitatively analyze discourse in the form of text documents with the assistance of quantitative text mining procedures. In general, researchers have used text mining approaches when investigating Philippine political issues (see Cabling, Drago, & Andrei, 2017; Pablo, Oco, Roldan, Cheng, & Roxas, 2014; Soriano, Roldan, Cheng, & Oco, 2016). Similarly, the use of these methods to assist social constructionist qualitative analysis is a fast-emerging development (see Montiel, Boller, Uyheng, & Espina, 2019; Montiel, de la Paz, & Cerafica, 2019; Montiel, Dela Paz, & Custodio, 2017; Montiel & Uyheng, 2020) especially in the research of discourse (see Freake, Gentil, & Sheyholislami, 2011; Liu & Zhang, 2018; Montiel, Umel, & de Leon, 2016; Pérez, 2018; Taylor, 2014; Törnberg & Törnberg, 2016; Zhang & Mihelj, 2012).…”

The present study proposes two distinct yet bidirectionally related forms of legitimation of state violence: those enacted by the government and those enacted by its citizens. We anchor this proposal upon a positioning framework. To demonstrate this conceptualization, we used a mixed methods approach that uses quantitative text mining procedures to supplement a qualitative positioning analysis. We analyzed a corpus of 18,968 words from presidential speeches to represent the government. At the same time, a corpus of 21,763 words from prodrug war Facebook comments to represent the citizens. We built and validated a classification model using support vector machines (SVM), which successfully distinguished between government and citizen utterances with an accuracy of 78.12%. Within the qualitative positioning analysis, we analyzed three storylines for the government and three storylines from the citizens. We show that bidirectional legitimation manifests between unique storylines of the government and citizens that share similar positionings. This study suggests that citizen discourse constructs state violence as acceptable on a different and yet equivalent level to the discourse of government politicians. We recommend for research in sociopolitical fields to shift in focus to comparatively analyze the unique discourses of both citizens and governments for episodes of national violence. Public Significance StatementMoving away from traditional dichotomies of the dominant and the dominated, the study becomes relevant through the introduction of an analytical framework and methodology for peace psychology that emphasizes an equal weight in the power of governments and citizens of a country. The study locates this equality in power within the capability of both governments and citizens to wield discourses in public spaces, with a particular focus on online spaces and social networking sites that are exponentially accessible venues for all forms of discussion. The study and its framework grant the general public the opportunity to scrutinize its specific contributions within online discussions of the political episodes of its nation; particularly the propagation and acceptance of state violence, which is a concept nominally tied to governments.
