Description
Summary:The use of modern methods of computational linguistics in psychological research opens up new possibilities both for the study of personality and language and for the development of psychodiagnostics methods. This article discusses the main possible directions of such research, as well as non-obvious nuances that are important in their planning. Maximum use of the methods of computational linguistics will allow to consider the characteristics of the methods themselves, the language system, sources of texts and a sample of their authors, as well as the level of theoretical development. Each of the points will be considered in detail on the examples of studies already conducted. This review is not exhaustive but allows to create a general picture for the further search for solutions to specific research problems.
