Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Psychology
  • Computational Linguistics

Background:

  • Understanding the linguistic features of emotional writing is crucial for analyzing text-based communication.
  • Previous research has explored sentiment analysis, but the specific language mechanisms in deeply emotional content require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To descriptively analyze the linguistic characteristics of emotional writing.
  • To identify differences in language complexity and word usage between emotional and superficial writing samples.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of two written samples: one emotional, one superficial.
  • Utilized the Korean Linguistic and Word Count program for detailed text analysis.

Main Results:

  • Emotional writing demonstrated a more complex sentence structure than superficial writing.
  • A higher frequency of cognitive words was observed in the emotional writing sample.

Conclusions:

  • Linguistic complexity and cognitive word usage are key indicators differentiating emotional writing from superficial writing.
  • These findings contribute to understanding the underlying mechanisms of emotional expression through language.
