Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how the personalities of characters in TV anime are conveyed through their choice of words and to elucidate the characteristics associated with each personality type. Initially, the characters' personalities were identified using TEGⅡ (Tokyo University Egograms Ⅱ). Subsequently, their dialogues underwent morphological analysis to extract distinctive words for each type, utilizing log-likelihood ratios. As a result, characters with strict personalities, classified as the CP (Critical Parent) type, exhibited the extraction of second-person pronouns ANTA/ANATA. In addition, words related to sentence endings, such as auxiliary verbs DESU/MASU and sentence-ending particles WA/YO/KASHIRA were identified. Moreover, words expressing negation, such as the auxiliary verb ZU and the adjective NAI, as well as imperative expressions like the verb NASARU, were also extracted. On the other hand, characters with free personalities, classified as the FC (Free Child) type, showed the extraction of interjections like WAA/UWA and adjectives expressing emotions, evaluations, and degrees such as SUGOI/KAWAII/HIDOI. Additionally, words indicating addressing someone with an affectionate suffix like CHAN/SAN and the sentence-ending particle MONO evoking a sense of innocence were extracted. This analysis sheds light on the connection between the personalities of anime characters and the choice of words they use.
