Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between personal agency and linguistic agency using computational text analysis. Three studies analyzed existing experimental and observational data to explore how personal agency, operationalized as recalling instances of power over others, social media followership, and participation in a depression forum, affects agentive language use. Results indicate a strong correlation between personal and linguistic agency, suggesting that reduced personal agency is reflected in reduced linguistic agency.
