An important finding is that LIWC can be effectively used as a bridge for crosscultural classification, with results that are comparable to the use of unigrams, which suggests that such specialized lexicons can be used for cross-cultural or cross-lingual classification.
these results are in line with previous research, which showed that LIWC word classes exhibit similar trends when distinguishing between deceptive and non-deceptive text (Newman et al., 2003).
