This paper introduces using linguistic analysis of trauma narratives in the context of the study of post-traumatic stress disorder of combatants. As a subject of the analysis, posts of people who participated in combat, obtained from topic-related discussion boards were used. The approach utilizes vocabulary adaptation in NLP using the pre-trained language BERT model in addition to descriptive statistics obtained from text. The novelty of the research lies in the use of a context-sensitive model, while most of the existing research in this area is based on statistical models that use statistical inference to discover hidden patterns.110-112enPTSDcombatcontent analysislinguistic analysisBERTlinguistic featuresanomaly detectioncontext-aware modelsLinguistic Characteristics of Combat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in a Trauma Related Narrative: Computational Context-Aware ApproachArticlecopyrighted by its editors.
