DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present some recent methodological and s
 ubstantive work in text-based computational social science. To begin\, I w
 ill present work on the history of immigration discourse in American polit
 ical speech over the past 150 years\, emphasizing aspects of tone\, framin
 g\, and metaphor. Next\, I will present a paper from EMNLP 2022 on the rol
 e of language ideology in data curation\, specifically with respect to the
  question of text quality. Finally\, time permitting\, I will briefly disc
 uss practical approaches to dealing with domain shift in text classificati
 on\, especially when working with lexicons or otherwise inaccessible model
 s (e.g.\, commercial APIs).
