The Affective Weight of Lexicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents resources and functionalities for the recognition and selection of affective evaluative terms. An affective hierarchy as an extension of the WORDNET-AFFECT lexical database was developed in the first place. The second phase was the development of a semantic similarity function, acquired automatically in an unsupervised way from a large corpus of texts, which allows us to put into relation concepts and emotional categories. The integration of the two components is a key element for several applications.

متن کاملTwitter as a Comparable Corpus to build Multilingual Affective Lexicons
Résumé The main issue of any lexicon-based sentiment analysis system is the lack of affective lexicons. Such lexicons contain lists of words annotated with their affective classes. There exist some number of such resources but only for few languages and often for a small number of affective classes, generally restricted to two classes (positive and negative). In this paper we propose to use Twi...
