Politeness: Stanford’s research established a framework for estimating “politeness” from markers like request forms, hedges, honorifics, etc. It’s English-centric, but the methodology can be adapted to Japanese.

Imperatives/strong assertions: Frequency of “〜しろ,” “〜に決まってる,” heavy use of exclamation marks, ALL-KATAKANA bursts, etc. Consideration/evidence markers: Signs of dialogic and verifiable style such as “根拠：,” “出典：,” “もし〜なら.” 3) ...
