IKR.
Pennebaker thinks so. He's a big proponent of "computational linguistics".

I recently read his book Secret Life of Pronouns.

I thought it'd be fun to replicate the book's claims. Like maybe analyze political speeches.
But Pennebaker's current rulesets apparently aren't available. And I didn't have the gumption to figure how to use the tools which are available.
Another book about truthiness is Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. https://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Lies-Internet-About-Really/dp/0062390856 https://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Lies-Internet-About-Really/...
There's got to be some overlap, right?
