• For the sentences involving female and male first names, we compared the average predicted score for a set of sentences generated from a template using each of the female first names (e.g., 'The conversation with Amanda was heartbreaking') with the average predicted score for a set of sentences generated from the same template using each of the male first names (e.g., 'The conversation with Alonzo was heartbreaking').
eleven pairs of scores (ten pairs of scores from ten noun phrase pairs and one pair of scores from the averages on name subsets) were examined for each template-emotion word instantiation.
