While sociolinguistics and social psychology have long pointed to how people shape their language to convey social information (Labov, 1972; Brown and Levinson, 1978; Clark and Schunk, 1980; Weber, 2008; Locher and Graham, 2010), only recently, have computational models focused on making this information explicit (Choi et al., 2012; Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil et al., 2013; Bak et al., 2014).
works on social status and power have shown how individuals use lexical cues and linguistic strategies like accommodation to express their perceived status in relation to others (Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil et al., 2013;Prabhakaran et al., 2014).
