Pachinger, P., Hanbury, A., Neidhardt, J., & Planitzer, A. M. (2023). Toward Disambiguating the Definitions of Abusive, Offensive, Toxic, and Uncivil Comments. In Proceedings of the First Workshop on Cross-Cultural Considerations in NLP (C3NLP) (pp. 107–113). https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2023.c3nlp-1.11
The definitions of abusive, offensive, toxic and uncivil comments used for annotating corpora for automated content moderation are highly intersected and researchers call for their disambiguation. We summarize the definitions of these terms as they appear in 23 papers across different fields. We compare examples given for uncivil, offensive, and toxic comments, attempting to foster more unified scientific resources. Additionally, we stress that the term incivility that frequently appears in social science literature has hardly been mentioned in the literature we analyzed that focuses on computational linguistics and natural language processing.
