Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how fact-checks distinguish a disputed claim from its correction produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how fact-checks distinguish a disputed claim from its correction within public English fact-check articles with accessible source links?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how fact-checks distinguish a disputed claim from its correction; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how fact-checks distinguish a disputed claim from its correction.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from public English fact-check articles with accessible source links.
- 03Analyse quotation boundaries, negation and evidence sequencing; check that disputed claims remain clearly attributed.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for public English fact-check articles with accessible source links. Analyse quotation boundaries, negation and evidence sequencing; check that disputed claims remain clearly attributed. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to public English fact-check articles with accessible source links
- An annotation guide covering how fact-checks distinguish a disputed claim from its correction
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
The project analyses presentation and must not repeat unverified claims as established facts.
