The term “drawled” is frequently used to evoke a slow, relaxed, or even sardonic style of speaking that reveals aspects of a character’s personality or regional background. Authors employ it to suggest that a character’s speech is measured and deliberate, conveying a sense of casualness or weariness in dialogue. For instance, characters like Sherlock Holmes use drawling to hint at their thoughtful, unhurried nature [1], while in works by Dostoyevsky, the word underscores moments of introspection and emotional nuance [2, 3, 4]. It can also introduce an element of humor or irony, as seen when a speaker’s languid tone adds a familiar colloquial charm to their words [5, 6]. In other contexts, drawled dialogue subtly contributes to the character’s identity or social setting, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the narrative [7, 8].
