: In this study, we did not collect data or involve any human or animal subjects. The data analysis in this study was conducted on existing databases of anonymized transcripts of psychotherapy sessions, publicly available conversations from podcast recordings, and scripted dialogue from movies. Thus, as we used data that is de-identified and available in the public domain, we did not seek ethics approval from our institution. The Alexander Street website [CitationRef removed] confirms that clients and therapists have given informed consent for the use of session transcriptions for research purposes per ethical guidelines issued by the APA in 2017 [CitationRef removed]. In addition, the Alexander Street website [CitationRef removed] owners gave one-month trial-period access and permission to use the database to the University of Tartu, which authors used for research purposes. The Spotify Podcasts Dataset owners [CitationRef removed, CitationRef removed] gave permission to use their data for research purposes directly to the corresponding author. The opensubtitles.org website [CitationRef removed] allows using the data for free, either for research or commercial purposes (see Privacy Policy: ExternalRef removed), thus, we did not seek permissions from this website. We also ensured ethical research practices by adhering to guidelines for data usage and citation.
