疫情背景下西语世界网络中的华人舆情研究--基于推特的大数据分析

Spanish-speaking Public Opinions on the Chinese Diaspora under COVID-19--An Analysis of Big Data on Twitter

论文基于爬虫程序,对推特平台西班牙语文化圈群中相关推文内容进行采集后,利用统计分析、情感分析与网络分析方法,重点围绕该文化圈群公众有关华人群体的言论展开研究,以探析疫情期间西班牙语世界公众对华人群体的关注度、情感态度与相关信息传播特点。研究发现:疫情的出现使得西语世界网络舆论中的华人群体受关注热议程度显著提升、情感态度呈现双向变化以及相关信息传播网络出现显著扩张,很大程度上改变了西语世界公众舆论的原有情形。这些新情况对西语世界华人群体构成了一定问题与风险,但同时也为塑造西语世界舆论中的华人群体新形象提供了重要机会。

This paper studies the crawler-collected big data from Spanish-speaking users on Twitter about the Chinese diaspora during the COVID-19 epidemic.The author analyzes statistics,computer sentiment and social networks,especially concerning Twitter users’emotional attitudes and communication structures,in order to trace changing patterns of Spanish-speaking public opinions on the Chinese diaspora.The research fins that the emergence of the COVID-19 has caused a significant increase in the popularity of online discussions on the Chinese diaspora,which have shown both positive and negative trends.It is clear that Twitter’s massive expansion of information dissemination networks has played a key role in shaping and reshaping these public opinions.This may bring problematic issues and risks to the Chinese diaspora on one hand,but may also provide opportunities for them to construct a new image on the other.
