[Corpora-List] rated words

[Diana Inkpen]

Hi Stephan.

As mentioned, the General Inquirer http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~inquirer/
contains words labeled as negative/positive, and also a few other
potentially useful labels such as "Emot", "Hostile", etc. It used to be
available for download. It can probably be obtained by emailing the authors.

Another good place to look for resources is the SentimentAI Yahoo group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SentimentAI/ (you might need to sign up.)
There is a list of 1700 adjectives provided by Maite Taboada,
automatically marked as positive/negative using Peter Turney's method. I
  have a longer list of words with semantic orientation scores
(automatically computed using the same method). It includes nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs that occurred in a corpus of product
reviews. I can make it available if you need it.

Maybe lists of positive/negative terms (out of context) is not exactly
what you need, but it is a start.
