Using a series of algorithms based on aspects of the human referential process, sensory word use, and internal gender, we highlight several new claims about Shakespeare\u2019s work. Drawing on embodied cognition, the research is then placed within today\u2019s security landscape. By examining adversarial data, extreme, lone actor, and troll messaging, we suggest that early signs of radicalisation might exist to cue bigger systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>TIME &amp; PLACE<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n1230-1330, Tue 17<sup>th<\/sup> Mar, Fylde D18<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Psycholinguistics Research Group and FORGE are delighted to announce a joint talk by our upcoming external speaker: David Kernot (Australian Department of Defence, Science and Technology).
