Abstract in another language
Negative word-of-mouth is a strong consumer and user response to dissatisfaction. Moral outrages can create an excessive collective aggressiveness against one single argument, one single word, or one action of a person resulting in hateful speech. In this work, we examine the change of vocabulary to explore the outbreak of online firestorms on Twitter. The sudden change of an emotional state can be captured in language. It reveals how people connect with each other to form outrage. We find that when users turn their outrage against somebody, the occurrence of self-referencing pronouns like ‘I’ and ‘me’ reduces significantly. Using data from Twitter, we derive such linguistic features together with features based on retweets and mention networks to use them as indicators for negative word-of-mouth dynamics in social media networks. Based on these features, we build three classification models that can predict the outbreak of a firestorm with high accuracy.
