Mark my words!

summary

Physiological studies have suggested that participants in conversation accommodate in dimensions such as style, utterance length, gesture, speaking rate etc. In this paper authors investigate accommodation in twitter. They propose a novel probabilistic framework to compute measures such as stylistic cohesion,stylistic accommodation and stylistic influence and symmetry.

Authors use non-topical LIWC[link] dimensions to compute measures mentioned above. Some of examples for these dimensions include use of Article,Negation words(not/no),Preposition,Quantifier,1st person singular pronoun,1st person plural pronoun,2nd person pronoun in conversation.
