Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:47:50 -0700 From: Matthew Bailey <matthew_bai...@mac.com> To: technoprogress...@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [tp] NSA flag terms X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1508) Reply-To: technoprogress...@yahoogroups.com I am pretty impressed by the list. But probably not why people would/might think And I am also sure that it is neither complete, nor the only list. Nor is it probably real. But… Usually things like this come in pairs. You have keywords that flag a communication for extra attention, and then another list that then looks for additional keywords that focus on specific subjects dealing with the keywords that are flagged. In addition there will be a set of grammars checked against to see if the language in the flagged communication matches any known set of communications (people have things in their writings that tend to signal consistent authorship - as an(some) example(s), people might notice that I have a tendency toward parenthetical asides, using pairs/combinations of words separated by slashes <- as I just did, or by using flexible noun-predicate tense with the use of parenthetical plurals, as in: "as an(some) example(s)"). And the list is hardly huge. The list keyword we use at work at UCLA (Prof. Francis Steen's Cognitive Communication's Lab) to look for syntagmatic signaling in newscasts is at least a hundred times longer than this list. In other words, this is just a small bite of a list, or a fabrication made to give people something to get hysterical over (I am going to guess the latter).
