In the article our researcher Jan Nikadon as part of a research group which is not only an interdisciplinary, but also interuniversity, or even international, studied connection between linguistic features and spread of information in online social media. The article contains a meta-analysis of 85 different articles.
Researchers showed which aspects increase the probability of greater dissemination. The article showed that specific emotions, such as fear, perform better and which writing narratives have a better impact on the audience. For example text that contains words which refer to social connection and intimacy and is written in an engaging and evocative way should perform better on social media.
