Yet, little action has been taken on this issue. This dissertation is about exposing verbal violence and abuse directed at women on the micro-blogging site Twitter and how, by means of sentiment analysis software, problematic tweets could be efficiently pinpointed in consonance with their lexical content and syntactical structure. This piece of work is based on user knowledge of the platform as well as background research on feminism. Finally, it contains real-life instances of abusive tweets, a survey aimed at Twitter female users and a selection of scientific articles on the practical application of sentiment analysis software on various fields.enAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessproyecto fin de carreraSentiment analysiswomenTwitterviolenceabuse
