“…As the Janschewitz (2008) and Eilola and Havelka (2010) norms did not list values for most of the new neutral words we selected for this experiment, valence and arousal measures were instead procured from Warriner, Kuperman, and Brysbaert (2013).…”

Speakers respond more slowly when naming pictures presented with taboo (i.e., offensive/embarrassing) than with neutral distractor words in the picture-word interference paradigm. Over four experiments, we attempted to localize the processing stage at which this effect occurs during word production and determine whether it reflects the socially offensive/embarrassing nature of the stimuli. Experiment 1 demonstrated taboo interference at early stimulus onset asynchronies of −150 ms and 0 ms although not at 150 ms. In Experiment 2, taboo distractors sharing initial phonemes with target picture names eliminated the interference effect. Using additive factors logic, Experiment 3 demonstrated that taboo interference and phonological facilitation effects do not interact, indicating that the two effects originate at different processing levels within the speech production system. In Experiment 4, interference was observed for masked taboo distractors, including those sharing initial phonemes with the target picture names, indicating that the effect cannot be attributed to a processing level involving responses in an output buffer. In two of the four experiments, the magnitude of the interference effect correlated significantly with arousal ratings of the taboo words. However, no significant correlations were found for either offensiveness or valence ratings. These findings are consistent with a locus for the taboo interference effect prior to the processing stage responsible for word form encoding. We propose a pre-lexical account in which taboo distractors capture attention at the expense of target picture processing due to their high arousal levels. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…We employed several well-established lexicons, such as Emolex (Mohammad and Turney, 2010) (10), Hedonometer (Dodds et al, 2011) (1), DAL (Whissell, 1989) (3), Warriner's Norms (Warriner et al, 2013) (3), Age of Adquisition (Kuperman et al, 2012) (1), Bristol familiarity and imaginary norms (Stadthagen-Gonzalez and Davis, 2006) (2), and WWBP lexicons (Schwartz et al, 2016(Schwartz et al, , 2013World Well-Being Project, 2017) which includes: PERMA (10), OCEAN (5), time-oriented (3) and affect-intensity lexicons (2). We also used MentalDisLex (Zirikly et al, 2016) (1) (2), determiners (1), word counts (1), mean word length (1), number of webpage links (1), lexical diversity (1)(mean fraction of different words among 100 random subsamples of 10 words) and the fraction of words semantically similar to several keywords 1 (8).…”

Mental health forums are online spaces where people can share their experiences anonymously and get peer support. These forums, require the supervision of moderators to provide support in delicate cases, such as posts expressing suicide ideation. The large increase in the number of forum users makes the task of the moderators unmanageable without the help of automatic triage systems. In the present paper, we present a Machine Learning approach for the triage of posts. Most approaches in the literature focus on the content of the posts, but only a few authors take advantage of features extracted from the context in which they appear. Our approach consists of the development and implementation of a large variety of new features from both, the content and the context of posts, such as previous messages, interaction with other users and author's history. Our method has competed in the CLPsych 2017 Shared Task, obtaining the first place for several of the subtasks. Moreover, we also found that models that take advantage of post context improve significantly its performance in the detection of flagged posts (posts that require moderators attention), as well as those that focus on post content outperforms in the detection of most urgent events.

“…The situation is rapidly improving for the English language, where age-of-acquisition ratings have been collected for 30,000 words (Kuperman, Stadthagen-Gonzalez, & Brysbaert, 2012), affective ratings for 14,000 words (Warriner, Kuperman, & Brysbaert, 2013), and concreteness ratings for 40,000 words (Brysbaert, Warriner, & Kuperman, in press). The main reason for this improvement is that in English, one can make use of Amazon Mechanical Turk, a service created by the company Amazon where Internet users can earn a small amount of money by doing so-called Human Intelligence Tasks.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oWord processing studies increasingly make use of regression analyses based on large numbers of stimuli (the socalled megastudy approach) rather than experimental designs based on small factorial designs. This requires the availability of word features for many words. Following similar studies in English, we present and validate ratings of age of acquisition and concreteness for 30,000 Dutch words. These include nearly all lemmas language researchers are likely to be interested in. The ratings are freely available for research purposes.
