"abstract": "Even though considerable attention has been given to semantic orientation of words and the creation of large polarity lexicons, research in emotion analysis has had to rely on limited and small emotion lexicons. In this paper, we show how we create a high-quality, moderate-sized emotion lexicon using Mechanical Turk. In addition to questions about emotions evoked by terms, we show how the inclusion of a word choice question can discourage malicious data entry, help identify instances where the annotator may not be familiar with the target term (allowing us to reject such annotations), and help obtain annotations at sense level (rather than at word level). We perform an extensive analysis of the annotations to better understand the distribution of emotions evoked by terms of different parts of speech. We identify which emotions tend to be evoked simultaneously by the same term and show that certain emotions indeed go hand in hand.",

"text": "When analyzing text, automatically detecting emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, anger, and surprise is useful for a number of purposes, including identifying blogs that express specific emotions towards the topic of interest, identifying what emotion a newspaper headline is trying to evoke, and devising automatic dialogue systems that respond appropriately to different emotional states of the user. Often different emotions are expressed through different words. For example, delightful and yummy indicate the emotion of joy, gloomy and cry are indicative of sadness, shout and boiling are indicative of anger, and so on. Therefore an emotion lexicon-a list of emotions and words that are indicative of each emotion-is likely to be useful in identifying emotions in text.",

"text": "Words may evoke different emotions in different contexts, and the emotion evoked by a phrase or a sentence is not simply the sum of emotions conveyed by the words in it, but the emotion lexicon will be a useful component for any sophisticated emotion detecting algorithm. The lexicon will also be useful for evaluating automatic methods that identify the emotions evoked by a word. Such algorithms may then be used to automatically generate emotion lexicons in languages where no such lexicons exist. As of now, high-quality high-coverage emotion lexicons do not exist for any language, although there are a few limited-coverage lexicons for a handful of languages, for example, the WordNet Affect Lexicon (WAL) (Strapparava and Valitutti, 2004) for six basic emotions and the General Inquirer (GI) (Stone et al., 1966) , which categorizes words into a number of categories, including positive and negative semantic orientation.",

This dataset, which we will call EmoLex, is many times as large as the only other known emotion lexicon, WordNet Affect Lexicon. More importantly, the terms in this lexicon are carefully chosen to include some of the most frequent nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Beyond unigrams, it has a large number of commonly used bigrams. We also include some words from the General Inquirer and some from WordNet Affect Lexicon, to allow comparison of annotations between the various resources.",

For instance, how hard is it for humans to annotate words with the emotions they evoke? What percentage of commonly used terms, in each part of speech, evoke an emotion? Are emotions more commonly evoked by nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs? Is there a correlation between the semantic orientation of a word and the emotion it evokes? Which emotions tend to go together; that is, which emotions are evoked simultaneously by the same term? This work is intended to be a pilot study before we create a much larger emotion lexicon with tens of thousands of terms.",

These emotionsjoy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise-are a subset of the eight proposed in Plutchik (1980) . We focus on the Plutchik emotions because the emotions can be naturally paired into opposites-joysadness, anger-fear, trust-disgust, and anticipationsurprise. Natural symmetry apart, we believe that prior work on automatically computing word-pair antonymy (Lin et al., 2003; Mohammad et al., 2008; Lobanova et al., 2010) can now be leveraged in automatic emotion detection.",

On the one hand, we do not want to choose a fine-grained sense-inventory because then the number of word-sense combinations will become too large and difficult to easily distinguish, and on the other hand we do not want to work only at the word level because when used in different senses a word may evoke different emotions.",

Through this question we convey the word sense for which annotations are to be provided, without actually providing annotators with long definitions. If an annotator is not familiar with the target word and still attempts to answer questions pertaining to the target, or is randomly clicking options in our questionnaire, then there is a 75% chance that they will get the answer to this question wrong, and we can discard all responses pertaining to this target term by the annotator (that is, we discard answers to the emotion questions provided by the annotator for this target term). We generated these word choice problems automatically using the Macquarie Thesaurus (Bernard, 1986) . Published thesauri, such as Roget's and Macquarie, divide the vocabulary into about a thousand categories, which may be interpreted as coarse senses. If a word has more than one sense, then it can be found in more than one thesaurus category. Each category also has a head word which best captures the meaning of the category.",

We chose the Macquarie Thesaurus as our source pool for unigrams and bigrams. Any other published dictionary would have worked well too. However, apart from over 57,000 commonly used English word types, the Macquarie Thesaurus also has entries for more than 40,000 commonly used phrases. From this list of unigrams and bigrams we chose those that occur frequently in the Google n-gram corpus (Brants and Franz, 2006 ). Specifically we chose the 200 most frequent n-grams in the following categories: noun unigrams, noun bigrams, verb unigrams, verb bigrams, adverb unigrams, adverb bigrams, adjective unigrams, adjective bigrams, words in the General Inquirer that are marked as having a negative semantic orientation, words in General Inquirer that are marked as having a positive semantic orientation. When selecting these sets, we ignored terms that occurred in more than one Macquarie Thesaurus category. Lastly, we chose all words from each of the six emotion categories in the WordNet Affect Lexicon that had at most two senses in the thesaurus (occurred in at most two thesaurus categories). The first and second column of Table 1 list the various sets of target terms as well as the number of terms in each set for which annotations were requested. EmoLex Uni stands for all the unigrams taken from the thesaurus. EmoLex Bi refers to all the bigrams. EmoLex GI are all the words taken from the General Inquirer.

"text": "The different emotion annotations for a target term were consolidated by determining the majority class of emotion intensities. For a given termemotion pair, the majority class is that intensity level that is chosen most often by the Turkers to represent the degree of emotion evoked by the word. Ties are broken by choosing the stronger intensity level. Table 2 lists the percent of 2081 target terms assigned a majority class of no, weak, moderate, and strong emotion. For example, it tells us that 7.6% of the tar- get terms strongly evoke joy. The table also presents an average of the numbers in each column (micro average). Observe that the percentages for individual emotions do not vary greatly from the average. The last row lists the percent of target terms that evoke some emotion (any of the eight) at the various intensity levels. We calculated this using the intensity level of the strongest emotion expressed by each target. Observe that 30.1% of the target terms strongly evoke at least one of the eight basic emotions. Even though we asked Turkers to annotate emotions at four levels of intensity, practical NLP applications often require only two levels-evoking particular emotion (evocative) or not (non-evocative). For each target term-emotion pair, we convert the four-level annotations into two-level annotations by placing all no-and weak-intensity assignments in the non-evocative bin, all moderate-and strongintensity assignments in the evocative bin, and then choosing the bin with the majority assignments. Table 3 gives percent of target terms considered to be EmoLex anger anticipation disgust fear joy sadness surprise trust any EmoLex Uni : adjectives 12 21 8 11 30 13 10 19 72 adverbs 12 16 7 8 21 6 11 25 65 nouns 4 21 2 9 16 3 3 21 47 verbs 12 21 7 11 15 12 evocative. The last row in the table gives the percentage of terms evocative of some emotion (any of the eight). Table 4 shows how many terms in each category are evocative of the different emotions. Table 4 shows that a sizable percent of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are evocative. Adverbs and adjectives are some of the most emotion inspiring terms and this is not surprising considering that they are used to qualify a noun or a verb. Anticipation, trust, and joy come through as the most common emotions evoked by terms of all four parts of speech. The EmoLex WAL rows are particularly interesting because they serve to determine how much the Turker annotations match annotations in the Wordnet Affect Lexicon (WAL). The most common Turker-determined emotion for each of these rows is marked in bold. Observe that WAL anger terms are mostly marked as anger evocative, joy terms as joy evocative, and so on. The EmoLex WAL rows also indicate which emotions get confused for which, or which emotions tend to be evoked simultaneously by a term. Observe that anger terms tend also to be evocative of disgust.
