🆕🔥 RMFV has new release! Check out the latest version at the main branch. The older branch is archived in the branch archive-v1.

Update in the new version:

The dataset MigParl (Blätte & Leonhardt 2020) is used as an extra resource to enhance the compilation of RMFV.

Refugees and Migration Framing Vocabulary (RMFV) is a German-language lexical resource which consists of dictionaries of 9 issue frames specifically related to the event "European Refugee Crisis" between 2014-2018 (issue frames ≈ the aspects of an event that are emphasized by the information sender).

The nine categories of issue frames are from our Refugees and Migration Framing Schema (RMFS), a schema developed in a theory-driven fashion. Both RMFV and RMFS are presented in:
