Adjectival Phrases as the Sentiment Carriers in the Urdu Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a comprehensive overview of the structures of the adjectival phrases in the Urdu language with respect to the task of sentiment analysis. Urdu is a widely spoken but one of the least explored languages by the computational linguistics community. After a detailed analysis of adjectival phrases in Urdu text we conclude that this language is orthographically, morphologically and grammatically different from other well established languages, like English and hence, it requires updated or different approaches and algorithms for the task of sentiment analysis. We present our approach in which the adjectival phrases are combined with polarity shifters, and conjunctions to make sentiment expressions in the opinionated sentences. We label these sentiment expressions as the SentiUnits. We apply shallow parsing based chunking to extract the SentiUnits. The overall polarity of a sentence in a given review can be determined by computing the polarity of these expressions. Adjectives are the head words, which appear with modifiers and postpositions. The experimentation based evaluation of the model with a sentiment-annotated lexicon of Urdu words and two corpuses of reviews as test-beds, shows encouraging achievement in terms of sentimental analysis and accuracy.
