Top Central Words. This figure depicts the top 50 most central words according to degree (left column), betweenness (center column) and closeness (right column) centrality, respectively for French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (top to bottom rows). The majority of top central words convey a positive sentiment for Italian and Spanish and a negative sentiment for French, German and Portuguese across all centrality metrics. Note that words stem from the languages of the 18th century and respective European countries and, thus, do not relate to potentially ambiguous meanings of modern day languages
