AUTNES Content Analysis of Party Leader Statements 2002 (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The AUTNES coding of leader statements covers all public statements and actions of leaders of relevant parties in the six weeks before the 2002 election, as documented in Austria’s two leading quality newspapers (Der Standard and Die Presse). Leaders are defined as party leaders and top candidates (i.e., those heading the party’s national election list). All natural sentences within the newspaper articles mentioning the leaders are part of the dataset, but the units of analysis are standardized statements derived from these natural sentences. The coding procedure applies the AUTNES relational approach of recording subjects, predicates, and objects to leader statements. Here, subjects are always party leaders or top candidates (with a few exceptions). We record the link between subjects and two kinds of objects, namely issues and object actors. Issues are coded using the comprehensive AUTNES list of issue categories. Object actors are recorded with their name (if an individual is present) and organisational affiliation. The predicate numerically records whether the subject’s position towards the issue or the object actor is one of (conditional) support, (conditional) rejection, or conveys a neutral/ambivalent stance. We record four supplementary variables: character traits for all object actors, leader records for subject and object actors, and justifications for issue statements. Variables: ID; year of the election campaign; newspaper (Der Standard, Die Presse); date of newspaper publication; page of the newspaper; title of the newspaper article; sentence in the newspaper article; presence of relevant party leader statement; statement extracted from the sentence; organisational affiliation of the quoting actor; name of the quoting actor (if individual); organisational affiliation of the subject actor; name of the subject actor (if individual); predicate (relation between subject actor and issue (or object actor if present); issue coded for the party leader statement; reference of subtitle to regulation or policy at the European level; justification of issue statements (economy, welfare state: expansive / protective, environment, security, education, governance, ethnic-national, religious, universalistic, not classifiable); reference to subject actor’s record or object actor’s record if object actor present (national level, Land level, international level, historical); organisational affiliation of the first object actor; name of the first object actor; characteristics of the object actor (attributes: competence, character, leadership, appearance, not classifiable).

供科研使用的完整版数据集。本数据集采用AUTNES编码框架对领导人言论进行编码，涵盖2002年大选前六周内相关政党领导人的所有公开言论与行动，数据源自奥地利两家顶尖优质报纸《标准报》（Der Standard）与《新闻报》（Die Presse）的相关报道。本数据集所定义的领导人，包括政党党魁以及参选名单首位的顶级候选人（即带领政党参与全国大选的候选人）。所有提及领导人的报纸文章中的自然语句均纳入数据集，但分析单元为从这些自然语句中提取的标准化言论。编码流程采用AUTNES关系型编码方法，对领导人言论的主语、谓语与宾语进行记录。其中主语始终为政党党魁或顶级候选人（仅少数例外）。我们会记录主语与两类宾语之间的关联，即议题与行为主体。议题依据AUTNES全面议题分类列表进行编码；行为主体则需记录其姓名（若为个人）与所属组织。谓语以数值形式记录主语针对议题或行为主体的立场：为（有条件）支持、（有条件）反对，或持中立/矛盾态度。此外，我们还记录四类补充变量：所有行为主体的性格特征、主语与行为主体的主体记录，以及议题言论的论证依据。变量包括：数据集ID、竞选年份、报纸来源（《标准报》（Der Standard）、《新闻报》（Die Presse））、报纸出版日期、报纸版面、文章标题、文章内语句、相关政党领导人言论存在标识、从语句中提取的言论、引述行为主体的所属组织、引述行为主体姓名（若为个人）、主语行为主体的所属组织、主语行为主体姓名（若为个人）、谓语（主语行为主体与议题或存在的行为主体间的关联）、政党领导人言论对应的编码议题、子标题提及的欧盟层面法规或政策、议题言论的论证依据（经济、福利国家：扩张型/保护型、环境、安全、教育、治理、族裔-民族、宗教、普世主义、无法归类）、主语行为主体或行为主体的记录参照（若存在行为主体：国家级、州级、国际级、历史层面）、第一行为主体的所属组织、第一行为主体姓名、行为主体特征（属性：能力、性格、领导力、形象、无法归类）。
