- Title
Debating Evil: Using Word Embeddings to Analyse Parliamentary Debates on War Criminals in the Netherlands.

- Abstract
We are proposing a method to investigate changes in historical discourse by using large bodies of text and word embedding models. As a case study, we investigate discussions in Dutch Parliament about the punishment of war criminals in the period 1945-1975. We will demonstrate how word embedding models, trained with Google's Word2Vec algorithm, can be used to trace historical developments in parliamentary vocabulary through time.
