Abstract

•

The analysis was based on a large-scale corpus of tweets in English in the Twitter discussion with the hashtag #jesuisCharlie.

•

The analysis was conducted sequentially with mixed methods: language technology method, quantitative analysis of modality, and digital discourse analysis of the opinions expressed in the tweets.

•

The data contained multiple topics that were organized into five clusters.

•

One of the clusters was more modalized than others.

•

All of the clusters contained expressions of affectivity and solidarity, but they also contained diversified and polarized opinions.
