On Constructing a Chinese Task-Oriental Subjectivity Lexicon

Affective language computing has drawn considerable interest in natural language processing area, multiple domains have been developed in this area. Constructing an emotion corpus plays a fundamental role in affective language processing. Large amounts of recent works have tackled this issue and several emotion lexicons had been established, however, the task of the lexicon had not been examined clearly and little attention had been paid to clarify the role of the emotion word applied in different tasks. In this paper, three basic issues on establishing a Task-oriental subjectivity lexicon for multiple application domains, i.e., the principle of collecting and annotating the emotion terms in different tasks, the models of the emotion theory and the composition of isolated and contextual-based terms are discussed in-depth. Finally, the method for building this lexicon is also examined.
