Abstract: In this work, we propose a corpus-based study of online conversations on Twitter and Instagram, and specifically on misogynistic language. Our goal is 1) to identify which key-concepts are present in misogynistic tweets manually annotated with semantic categories, and 2) investigate whether in a network of real high-school students on Instagram such key-concepts are present and used with a misogynistic purpose.
