The proposed approach uses Persian and English corpora as well as a bilingual dictionary in order to make a mapping between PWN synsets and Persian words.

In this paper, we describe a set of techniques that can be used to classify weblogs (blogs) by emotional content. Instead of using a general purpose emotional classification strategy, our technique aims to generate domain specific sentiment classifiers that can be used to determine the emotional state of weblogs in that domain.
