Not that much power: Linguistic alignment is influenced more by low-level linguistic features rather than social power (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | linguistic alignment between interlocutors of higher power is attributed to their relative social power, but studies on low-level linguistic features do not account for these factors. |
| Approach: | They characterize the effect of power on alignment with logistic regression models in two datasets and find it vanishes after controlling for low-level features such as utterance length. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that the effect vanishes or is reversed after controlling for low-level features such as utterance length. |
