Our focus is on automatic deception detection in text across cultures. In this context, we view culture through the prism of the individualism/collectivism dimension and we approximate culture by using country as a proxy. Having as a starting point recent conclusions drawn from the social psychology discipline, we explore if differences in the usage of specific linguistic features of deception across cultures can be confirmed and attributed to cultural norms in respect to the individualism/collectivism divide. In addition, we investigate if a universal feature set for cross-cultural text deception detection tasks exists. We evaluate the predictive power of different feature sets and approaches. We create culture/language-aware classifiers by experimenting with a wide range of n-gram features from several levels of linguistic analysis, namely phonology, morphology and syntax, other linguistic cues like word and phoneme counts, pronouns use, etc., and token embeddings. We conducted our experiments over eleven datasets from five languages (English, Dutch, Russian, Spanish and Romanian), from six countries (United States of America, Belgium, India, Russia, Mexico and Romania), and we applied two classification methods, namely logistic regression and fine-tuned BERT models. The results showed that the undertaken task is fairly complex and demanding. Furthermore, there are indications that some linguistic cues of deception have cultural origins, and are consistent in the context of diverse domains and dataset settings for the same language. This is more evident for the usage of pronouns and the expression of sentiment in deceptive language. The results of this work show that the automatic deception detection across cultures and languages cannot be handled in a unified manner, and that such approaches should be augmented with knowledge about cultural differences and the domains of interest.

[1990]. 54 51 Lewis and George [2008] Study on deceptive computer-mediated communication between Spanish and US participants. 59 51 2.2 Culture & language The correlation and interrelation between cultural differences and language usage has been extensively studied in the past. The most influential theory is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that is also known as the theory of the linguistic relativity [Sapir, 1921, Whorf, 1956]. This theory suggests that language influences cognition. Thus every human views the world by his/her own language. Although influential, the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis has been heavily challenged [Deutscher, 2010]. However, neo-Whorfianism that is a milder strain of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is now an active research topic [West and Graham, 2004, Boroditsky, 2006], stating that language influences a speaker's view of the world but does not inescapably determine it. Another view of the relationship between language and culture is the notion of linguaculture (or languaculture). The term was introduced by linguistic anthropologists Paul Friedrich [Friedrich, 1989] and Michael Agar [Agar, 1994]. The central idea is that a language is culture bound and much more than a code to label objects found in the world [Shaules, 2019]. Early studies [Haire et al., 1966, Whitely and England, 1980] support that language and cultural values are correlated in the sense that the cross-cultural interactions that account for similarity in cultural beliefs (geographic proximity, migration, colonization) also produce linguistic similarity. Haire et al. [1966] found Belgian-French and Flemishspeakers held values similar to the countries (France and the Netherlands) with which they shared language, religion and other aspects of cultural heritage. In such cases, parallel similarities of language and values can be seen because they are part of a common cultural heritage transmitted over several centuries. 2.3 Deception & culture The individualism/collectivism dipole is one of the most viable constructs to differentiate cultures and express the degree to which people in a society are integrated into groups. In individualism, ties between individuals are loose and individuals are expected to take care of only themselves and their immediate families, whereas in collectivism ties in society are stronger. The individualism/collectivism construct strongly correlates with the distinction between high and low-context communication styles [Hall, 1976]. The low context communication style, that is linked with more individualist cultures, states that messages are more explicit, direct and the transmitter is more open and expresses true intentions. In contrast, in a high context communication messages are more implicit and indirect, so context and word choices are crucial in order for messages to be communicated correctly. The transmitter in this case tries to minimize the content of the verbal message and is reserved in order to maintain social harmony [Würtz, 2017]. Some studies from the discipline of psychology examine the behaviour of verbal and non-verbal cues of deception across different cultural groups based on these constructs [

The protocol, which we use for this purpose, is based on the determination of the mean value of spin corresponding to a certain qubit. We explore the dependence of the entanglement on a parameter of the Schrödinger cat state which consists of different numbers of qubits. In addition, we explore the entanglement of each qubit with the remaining system in the maximum entangled Schrödinger cat state.

As it emerges from different sources, this process can be influenced both by ethnic forms of discrimination and by precarious employment. The biographical paths of the second generation testifies on one hand the fragmentation and the ethnic stratification of the labour market, while on the other economic issues are entrenched, with the multiplication of the spaces of transnational trade and its related factors. The main opportunities available for the second generation, at a local level, relate to trajectories of ethnic enclaves or ethnic niches and to the access to selected forms of employments, mainly as care-workers. However, some groups are able to start up ethnic transnational businesses. Consequently, against a background characterised by globalisation and uncertainty, only some individuals succeed in managing a process of globalized individualization. Keywords: Labour Market, Immigration in France, Second Generation, Discrimination.

Sur ces frontieres interieures naissent de nouvelles formes d’action collective qui expriment des conflits entre differents ordres de reconnaissance sociaux. Et simultanement s’elaborent de nouvelles economies morales fondees sur le souci d’autrui dans des contextes societaux tres differents.

Where do Western and Non-Western theories converge, and how do common and situated knowledge coexist and interlock? Based on French and Chinese research experiences in the field of migration, this book highlights the proceedings of the co-production of practical knowledge which explicates the paradigm of Post-Western sociology. From an empirical standpoint, the cross-perspectives of French and Chinese researchers on the biographies of young Chinese migrants in China and young descendants of immigrants in France are confronted, with respect to five themes of migration sociology: migration and education; migration, gender and family; migration between integration and urban segregation; migration and work; migration and governance. Through this work, theoretical continuities and discontinuities between Chinese and French sociology emerge, paving the way for a Post-Western space, based on shared legacies but also on traditions and trajectories in international sociology.

This article focuses on the analysis of intracontinental migration in China in order to understand how transnational migration, linked together through economic and social networks based on solidarity and mutual assistance, is built up. By looking at the circulation and movement of poorly qualified migrants, we shall examine how zones of circulation in China are subject to constant transformation, how itineraries diversify, how destinations are becoming more and more remote, and how settlement locations increase one after another at a time when intracontinental polymigration seems to be ever more significant and can easily anticipate transnational migration. Finally, intracontinental migration will be analysed as potentially productive of upward or downward mobility, and of social recognition in contemporary Chinese society.

At the same time, in these same countries, globalization is accompanied by the formation of « intermediate spaces » coming in part from the collapse of certain economic sectors and in part from more flexible policies relative to immigration. In addition, far from resulting in more rights, the expansion of capitalism favors the political domination exercised by the Communist parties in Vietnam and China. Moreover, the adoption of free-market policies in countries like the Ivory Coast has led to economic collapse leaving only a facade covering a return to a parallel, informal economy. Such diversity relativizes any attempt to generalize about this phenomenon and calls for empirical approaches. At the same time, it calls attention to different degrees of responsibility with regard to those contributing to these condit...
