I thought Pennebaker found an absolute correlation between status and pronoun usage (e.g. higher-status uses "we" more than lower-status), where this work seems to be about relative patterns between individuals.

He didn't really have a definite pattern for higher status except they used more articles, however lower status used more "I"s. Yet later in the book he also mentioned mirrored language and who reflects who. He also had some sort of web program that measured the difference between the two. I think that correlates with the goals of this study.
