“…Fan et al (2020) find significant relations between bot tweets and the return and volatility of the 55 companies in the FTSE 100 composites. Bajo et al (2020) find that newspaper coverage of firms in conflict of interest is greater, with fewer negative and uncertain words.

We quantify the tone from the speeches of the European Central Bank (ECB) as well as that from the national central banks of six leading European nations and analyze its role in explaining the returns of their respective stock market indices. Using recent innovations in financial text analysis, we find evidence that except for France, all nations' stock indices are significantly associated with the tone of speeches delivered by either the national banks or the ECB (or both). For France, the national stock index volatility is found to be associated with its national central bank speech tone.

The present paper analyses discursive representations and standpoint-arguments pairs, realized in articles of four mainstream Italian newspapers that report on migrants’ and refugees’ mobilization at the perceived peak of the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ (2015–2017). We draw on the scholarly agenda of Critical Discourse Studies, employing tools from corpus linguistic perspectives, which allow us to generalize over the way in which the relevant minorities are represented in our corpus. Then, focusing on a smaller sample of negative representations, we outline a methodological synthesis in order to scrutinize instances of representational meaning in newspapers articles and trace what is argumentatively inferred in discursive representations. To that end we exploit tools from systemic functional and cognitive linguistics as well as the Argumentum Model of Topics (AMT) for the analysis of inference. In this sense, we demonstrate how discriminatory representations do not only portray migrants and refugees in a negative light but also justify discrimination through the argumentative dynamic they develop.
