Abstract

This study explores differences in the linguistic characteristics of questions from different disciplines on academic social Q and A platforms. Based on 1968 questions collected from five disciplines on ResearchGate Q and A, the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that questions in different disciplines differ significantly across multiple linguistic characteristics. This study will help scholars better understand the expressive preferences of their disciplines on social media.
