    The document summarizes a study that examined whether tweets from mobile and web-based sources differ significantly in their linguistic styles. The study analyzed over 235 million tweets over a 6 week period, focusing on tweets from mobile versus web sources by time of day. It evaluated several categories including egocentricity, gender style, emotional content, and agency. The study ultimately found that mobile tweets are more egocentric and use negative language more frequently than web tweets. It did not find significant differences in gendered language or levels of agency between the two platforms.

    Activity: Hedging.

    Read the passage below and list all hedging expressions used. Identify its type and use it to form your
    own sentences. Use the graphic organizer provided.

    Given that the influence of mobile technologies on tweeting patterns has been understudies, we sought
    to bridge this gap by examining whether tweets from mobile and web-based sources differ significantly
    in their linguistic styles. We studied 6 weeks of Twister spritzer stream data, containing 235 million
    tweets. We focused on the analysis of tweets by source- specifically mobile versus web-based sources
    by time of day. This involved evaluating several categories or subsets in which mobile sources may be
    similar to or different from web sources. We used word lists from social psychology to test for levels of
    egocentricity, gender style, emotional content, and agency in both mobile and web tweets.

    Ultimately, we found that mobile tweets are not only more egocentric in language than any other group,
    but that the ratio of egocentric to non-egocentric tweets is consistently greater for mobile tweets than
    from non-mobile sources. We did not find that mobile tweets were particularly gendered. Regardless of
    platform, tweets tended to employ words traditionally associated as masculine. We did find that
    negative language is used more frequently by mobile users at any point in time, a finding that would
    benefit from further research. The ratio of negative to positive unigrams was also found to be
    consistently greater for mobile tweets than web tweets. Lastly, we did not find that mobile-based
    tweets are more agentic than web-based tweets. Rather, both platforms tended to employ language
    that was associated with communal behaviors.
