This paper describes a system (pin_cod_) built for SemEval 2020 Task 12: OffensEval: Multilingual Offensive Language Identification in Social Media (Zampieri et al., 2020). I present the system based on the architecture of bidirectional long short-term memory networks (BiLSTM) concatenated with lexicon-based features and a social-network specific feature and then followed by two fully connected dense layers for detecting Turkish offensive tweets. The pin cod ’s system achieved a macro F1-score of 0.7496 for Sub-task A - Offensive language identification in Turkish.
