Fakenewsul: tipare lingvistice și posibilități de identificare
Fake News: Linguistic Patterns and Identification Possibilities

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an in-depth analysis of identifying possibilities of fake news in the Romanian press online environment using a NLP program based on a series of recurring linguistic patterns. The possibility of automating the identification process with regard to the erroneous or manipulative character of news with the help of artificial intelligence based on the linguistic structure becomes the hypothesis of this paper. The theoretical proposal formulated by several IT specialists regarding the development of such a computer program based on linguistic recurrences (syntactic patterns, phraseological units, etc.) will be debated following the basic principles of natural language. In order to formulate an answer regarding the formulated hypothesis, semantic theories are also needed with regard to the truth-value of the propositional content. The proposal will be analysed under the auspices of the linguistic characteristics of the Romanian language, which are recurrent and identifiable in fake news. The paper also presents the social implications of the journalistic phenomenon, describing cultural variables, followed by a short foray into fake news, tracing its characteristics and types. Thus, the proposal formulated in the international space will be analysed using the coordinates of the Romanian cultural space.
