Description

We present a cleansed version of the Mod- ern Greek branch of the multilingual lexicon HURTLEX. The new version contains 737 offensive words. We worked bottom-up in two annotation rounds and developed detailed diag- nostics of "offensiveness" by cross-classifying words on three dimensions: context, reference, and thematic domain. Our work reveals a wider spectrum of thematic domains concerning the study of offensive language than those iden- tified in the Greek lexicographic literature as well as social and cultural aspects that are not included in the original HURTLEX categories.
