From Protests on the Streets to a War in the East: Evolution of Discourse in a Prolonged Crisis

Abstract
Online discourse around prolonged crises—such as political unrest and armed conflict—evolves in complex ways. This paper examines how discourse volatility and framing shift over time in a large-scale, longitudinal dataset. We present methods to characterize discourse evolution and discuss implications for understanding public response to prolonged crises.
