Figure 8
The bow-tie structure of the discursive communities for the Turkish EURO2020 dataset. The SPORTS group contains the official accounts of football players and clubs, and sports newspapers, while AK refers to the Justice and Development Party (Turkish: Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP), which is a conservative political party in Turkey, including President Erdogan and his ministries. The SPORTS discursive community does not display an informative bow-tie structure, while the AK one has an extremely weak (INTEND-dominant) bow-tie. The dimension of the sectors is proportional to the number of nodes therein and the color quantifies the distance between the observed and the predicted dimension. Looking to the color of the vertices, it is possible to see that the observed dimensions are not statistically significant.
