Abstract

In this paper, we report a study of the polarity of Chinese emotion words. We conducted a large-scale polarity rating experiment with laymen speakers, and compiled a database of polarity ratings for Chinese emotion words based on these experimental results. The polarity ratings were also compared with previously reported polarity ratings, as well as related emotion word ratings such as emotion category and emotional intensity. The participants in the current study were all Singapore Chinese speakers, but the methodology and the current results will serve as an important reference for future research on sentiment analysis and emotion language in Chinese in a broader context.
