Resumo


This work aims at highlighting gender differences in the use of Brazilian Portuguese by users of a Brazilian social network. We perform this study by using a dictionary of a text analysis program named LIWC. Experimental results indicate that males and females differ with respect to the most used word classes. Our results are consistent with studies performed in other languages.
