Hutchinson, Sterling; Louwerse, Max – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Knowledge regarding social information is commonly believed to be derived from sources such as formal relationships and interviews and can be plotted as complex networks. We explored whether social networks can also be extracted through other means by using language statistics. In three computational studies we computed first-order and…
