Data on Terminological Semantic Variation between the (US and British) Press and UN Institutions in Climate Change Discourses

The data set contains three spreadsheets, two of them being displayed in one single Excel file. The first file, entitled « Cosine_Similarity_UN-Press », represents the cosine similarity scores between the UN version and the press version of the most specific and widely distributed « climate terms » shared by these two communities. The second file, entitled « Collocates_UN-Press » contains two spreadsheets which respectively compares the collocates of the terms « adaptation » and « energy security » between two corpora on climate change, one representing UN institutions and one representing the US and British press.

本数据集共包含3个工作表，其中2个工作表收纳于单个Excel文件中。首个文件命名为「Cosine_Similarity_UN-Press」，其记录了两个语料群体所共有的、最具针对性且覆盖范围最广的气候术语的联合国版本与媒体版本之间的余弦相似度（cosine similarity）得分。第二个文件命名为「Collocates_UN-Press」，该文件包含2个工作表，分别对比了气候变化主题语料库中“气候适应（adaptation）”与“能源安全（energy security）”的搭配词（collocates），其中一组语料库代表联合国机构，另一组代表美国与英国媒体。
