Estonian Valence Corpus / Eesti valentsikorpus

The Estonian Valence Corpus consists of paragraphs (4,088) from newspaper articles and comments in "Postimees" and "Õhtuleht," whose emotional tone (positive, negative, mixed, neutral) has been determined by readers. The dominant opinion method was employed to determine the tone (Pennebaker, James W.; Mayne, Tracy J.; Francis, Martha E. 1997. Linguistic predictors of adaptive bereavement.<i> Journal of Personality and Social Psychology</i> 72(4), 863-871).The Estonian Valence Corpus is primarily intended for training statistical models but can also be used for other purposes."Postimees" sections/categories: Opinion (ARVAMUS), Culture (KULTUUR), Sports (SPORT), International (VÄLISMAA), Crime (KRIMI), Estonia (EESTI), comments on Estonia (KOMM-P-EESTI)"Õhtuleht" sections/categories: Life (ELU-O), comments on Life (KOMM-O-ELU)For more information about the corpus: Pajupuu, Hille; Altrov, Rene; Pajupuu, Jaan (2016).
