Abstract I identify a class of expressions called ‘emotive markers,’ exemplified by fortunately and alas, which encode not-at-issue information about the speaker’s emotive attitude towards content utterances they occur in. argue that there are important differences markers other encoders content, in particular utterance modifiers like frankly or evidential adverbs apparently. In contrast to the...

present study is aimed at evaluating the effect of rational emotive behavior therapy (rebt) on anxiety and irrational beliefs among infertile women. to assess the level of anxiety and irrational beliefs, 50 infertile women were selected randomly from mediwave ivf and fertility research hospital in mysore city and were administered cattle questionnaires for surveying anxiety and the shortened ge...

This chapter provides a qualitative review of treatment outcome studies of rational-emotive therapy (RET; Ellis, 1962) and a variant of RET, systematic rational restructuring (SRR; Goldfried, Decenteceo, & Weinberg, 1974). We have organized studies according to the type of problem or disorder being treated. This should maximize the utility of the information for clinical decision-making. Confro...

This single-case experiment evaluates the impact of an innovative rational-emotive cognitive treatment focused on hallucination and delusions on quality of life, depression, anxiety, and insight in a female patient suffering from schizophrenia. The cognitive treatment developed for this experiment was directly inspired by the work of Ellis and Chadwick, Birchwood, and Trower. The rational-emoti...

In this paper we compare different context selection approaches to improve the creation of Emotive Vector Space Models (VSMs). The system is based on the results of an existing approach that showed the possibility to create and update VSMs by exploiting crowdsourcing and human annotation. Here, we introduce a method to manipulate the contexts of the VSMs under the assumption that the emotive co...

In Language, Truth, and Logic Ayer took the surprising position that ethical judgments, exhortations, and descriptions are neither true nor false, but are emotive statements. While his argumentation was in support of the logical positivist position, it suggests a novel method for computational systems to recognize utterances regarding ethics. Namely, expressions of emotion can be likened to “bo...

English. This paper describes the CoLing Lab system for the participation in the constrained run of the EVALITA 2016 SENTIment POLarity Classification Task (Barbieri et al., 2016). The system extends the approach in (Passaro et al., 2014) with emotive features extracted from ItEM (Passaro et al., 2015; Passaro and Lenci, 2016) and FB-NEWS15 (Passaro et al., 2016). Italiano.
