Abstract
In this paper we present a study on language use peculiarities of people with different verbal intelligence. The work is based on a corpus containing dialogues about the same topic and verbal intelligence scores of the dialogue participants. Content and style words were extracted from the transcribed dialogues using the LIWC dictionary. Features characterizing the dialogue flow (number of short and long utterances, successful and unsuccessful interruptions, repeated and incomplete words, etc.) were also calculated. Using a simple one-way analysis of variance the mean values of these features for test persons with higher and lower verbal intelligence were compared.
