A verb lexicon model for deep sentiment analysis and opinion mining applications

This paper presents a lexicon model for subjectivity description of Dutch verbs that offers a framework for the development of sentiment analysis and opinion mining applications based on a deep syntactic-semantic approach. The model aims to describe the detailed subjectivity relations that exist between the participants of the verbs, expressing multiple attitudes for each verb sense. Validation is provided by an annotation study that shows that these subtle subjectivity relations are reliably identifiable by human annotators.
