Viralidad y agresividad comunicativa en Twitter durante la covid-19. Visualización de redes y análisis de palabras clave a partir del hashtag #niñosenlacalle

Abstract

The communicative and social relevance of social media is undeniable, even more in circumstances such as those provoked by covid-19. We focus on two issues of great relevance in networks in this period: the virality and communicative aggressiveness in Twitter and in Spain, taking as an example the hashtag #niñosenlacalle. The results of the analysis carried out with computational and corpus tools reveal a fairly compact network around three extremely viralized tweets. The keyword analyses show the disqualifying intention and the aggressiveness of the publications, with extremely offensive words among the most relevant ones in the hashtag.
