Our Main Question:

Can we identify which character is speaking based only on dialogue patterns? We would analyze 3–5 specific characters and compare their language use across episodes. Some patterns we could look at: Word frequency, catchphrase detection, sentence length, emotional tone. The goal would be to see if characters have distinct linguistic “fingerprints” that a computer can recognize, even without their names attached to the dialogue.

Script Notation
