Remember the Journal of Psychohistory? It was great. There was once a late radio show that the Psychohistory Society group had. I learned how to read newspapers using psychohistory. You read the title, then you circle all the emotional words with a red pen and put the paper down. Then you come back later and read the title and the whole article. Clif HIgh also uses linguistics, especially emotional words. So I think you are right.
