Did you know that we are constantly leaving clues about our backgrounds, our feelings and thoughts, and even about our connections with others through the ways we write and speak — without even realizing it? Computerized text analysis and AI methods can identify subtle psychological shifts in individuals, groups, and even societies through people’s use of pronouns, prepositions, and other almost-invisible words.
Introducing Planet Word’s newest series: Language & the Brain. This thought-provoking series explores the fascinating connection between how we think and how we communicate.
The series kicks off with renowned psychologist and incoming President of the Association of Psychological Sciences, Dr. James Pennebaker, on June 23. In Linguistic Styles and Personality: How the Words We Use in Everyday Language Reveal Who We Are, Pennebaker uncovers how simple text analysis methods can identify depression, deception, and people’s relationships.
Learn how these methods can be applied across many fields including medicine, marketing, law enforcement, history, and the study of culture.
With support from Ann Ziff, this first installment of Planet Word’s new Language & the Brain series invites the intellectually curious to explore how the human brain shapes language and, in turn, how the use of language restructures the human brain.
