Notes

  1. 1.

    While conducting our count we exclude negation of the lexical items by ignoring occasions when the word is preceded by “no”, “non”, “not”, “less”, “few”, or “limited” by three or fewer words.

  2. 2.

    To mitigate the effects of outliers, all continuous variables are winsorized at the 1 and 99% levels.
