[Corpora-List] language and gender

[Amruta D. Purandare]

This is one of my favorite papers on language and gender studies -

  author    = {Boulis, Constantinos  and  Ostendorf, Mari},
  title     = {A Quantitative Analysis of Lexical Differences Between Genders in Telephone Conversations},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL'05)},
  year      = {2005},
  url       = {http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P/P05/P05-1054}

We tried to follow their analysis in our experiments on FRIENDS dialogs
to study gender specific speech features of verbal humor -

  author    = {Purandare, Amruta  and  Litman, Diane},
  title     = {Humor: Prosody Analysis and Automatic Recognition for F*R*I*E*N*D*S*},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing},
  year      = {2006},
  url       = {http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W/W06/W06-1625}

Best,
Amruta
