Major LIWC-22 update released today! Boatloads of updates and new features. Key changes include several new ways for LIWC-22 to run on HPC/cluster computing environments, multilingual CLI support, and new dictionary evaluation features. Hooray!
In a new @ConversationUS piece with @hcshulman and @Todd_Rogers_, we describe our @ScienceAdvances piece on the benefits of simple writing for #journalism and #news. Check it out! theconversation.com/readers-prefer…
Today is a big day — we've just released a *big* update to LIWC-22, with lots of neat little additions and a couple of big additions to v1.8.0. Now, you can compare word frequencies, easily analyze Japanese-language texts with J-LIWC2015, and more! See: liwc.app/help/release-n…
Why yes, we're also on *that other app*: bsky.app/profile/liwc.a…
LIWC22 for life. ✊🏼✊🏼
‼️ RESCHEDULED Are you looking for a way to make content analysis easier and more efficient? Look no further than our LIWC Video Workshop! 🚂 Featuring Purdue Associate Professor, Jennifer Hoewe. 🗓️ Please join us Friday, Sept 29th at 12PM. @jenniferhoewe @PurdueLibArts
I am developing an ecocritical dictionary LIWC-22 (1992 origin, streamlined 2007) has been an absolute blast, but it reminds me that AI is not new - it’s actually ancient Like the dot-com bubble when the internet wasnt new, please be careful with your investments
Extremely happy to announce that another of my PhD papers (2/3!!) has recently been published online: doi.org/10.1521/pedi.2… In this study, @DrRyanBoyd and I utilised computational linguistic methods to better understand & characterise the nature of social dysfunction in #BPD
New paper on disciplinary bias in @ERjournal_AERA. Using NLP on 3.5M comments, teachers sending students to the office were more negative toward Black vs. White students, and more impersonal toward Asian vs. White students. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/6SNGIMV…

Exciting news! Our Co-Founder, Dr. Brittain Hale, will be presenting her research on Zelenskyy at the 27th World Conference hosted by @ipsa_aisp in July. Her research leverages the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with the help of @liwc_research.

New paper out! We used LIWC text analysis to compare the two Adam Smith's books "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" and "The Wealth of Nations" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

What does verbal analytic thinking really measure? New work finds that the most reliable link to verbal analytic thinking is need for cognition, and less so cognitive ability. Content effects also matter! See here, in Applied Cognitive Psychology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ac…
This is one of the first projects to specifically look at what people say in VR. Analyzing language in social VR is essential, and we have more projects tackling this puzzle directly.

Work that builds on tools and techniques from @DrRyanBoyd @jwpennebaker @liwc_software and others!
And finally, we had to ask #ChatGPT to make up a new Zodiac and the results didn't disappoint. Do you feel more like a penguin, a potato, or a llama?
We applied LIWC to the horoscopes and found that tentative language tends to be way more frequent than certain language, as we expected. Being vague is certainly the best prediction.
