LIWC Research Series:
Researchers use LIWC to conduct a linguistic analysis of texts written by Marilyn Monroe. The study identifies changes in her language patterns over time. Findings reveal a gradual decrease in negative emotion words and an increase in the proportion of personal pronouns used, patterns associated with low levels of social integration and suicide.
