Appraisal of Opinion Expressions in Discourse
Nicholas M. Asher, Farah Benamara, Yvette Yannick Mathieu · Lingvisticae Investigationes · 2009
We present an analysis of opinion in texts based on a detailed semantic analysis of a wide class of expressions. We propose a new annotation schema for a deep contextual opinion analysis using discourse relations. We analyze the distribution of our categories in three different types of online corpora, movie reviews, Letters to the Editor and news reports, in English and French.
