Hi,

have a look at Argamon and Co.' s work. For example:

Gender, Genre, and Writing Style in Formal Written Texts
S. Argamon, M. Koppel, J Fine, A.R. Shimoni 2003

Automatically Categorizing Written Texts by Author Gender (2003)
Moshe Koppel Shlomo Argamon Anat Rachel Shimoni

etc.

Cheers, Marina
