LIWC: Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count

Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) is the gold standard in extracting social and psychological insights from language data. Here's LIWCing at you, kid.

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! https://t.co/aziSANS5Ul

@fedorenkoin Side note: the LIWC2015 dictionary (along with other, older versions) are still included in LIWC-22 so that ongoing and future work can still be performed using the same dictionaries used in previously published work and studies.

@fedorenkoin Some additional information on this can be found in the "New and Updated LIWC-22 Language Categories" section of the development and psychometrics manual, which can be found on this page:

@fedorenkoin that they are thinking (and verbalizing) within the dimension of "happiness" or, more broadly, positive affect. The "tone" measures, on the other hand, are more analogous to sentiment, which is what you're describing. 3/3

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: https://t.co/03vl48QpVa

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: https://t.co/ylcRWuQSNN

In this study, @DrRyanBoyd and I utilised computational linguistic methods to better understand & characterise the nature of social dysfunction in #BPD

[Dave Markowitz @davidmmarkowitz]

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.

@PribbleJenny Hi Jenny! Because of how they're calculated, they are only generated for the built-in dictionaries (English 2015/22 dictionaries, German 2015 dictionary). But, you may be able to calculate some of them for the Spanish translation as well. Drop us an e-mail and we'll chat :)
