Left-Handed or Right-Handed? A Data-Driven Approach to Analysing Characteristics of Handedness Based on Language Use

Using a social media setting, this paper presents a data-driven approach to explore whether a person's handedness can be identified given his or her writing, and shows handedness characteristics that can be inferred from language.
