LREC 2008 Workshop on Sentiment Analysis: Emotion, Metaphor, Ontology and
Terminology (EMOT 2008)

Sentiment analysis systems seek to extract emotions and feelings expressed
about people, organisations, nation states, goods and services, in free
natural language texts.  This interdisciplinary workshop will address
three related topics:
(a)	how metaphor and sentiment interact in everyday communication;
(b)	language/conceptual resources properties to support sentiment analysis
(c)	 evaluation of sentiment analysis programs and evaluation methodologies.

This workshop will deal with the recent advances in the processing of
sentiment in arbitrary collections of text. Sentiment can be expressed
about works of art and literature, about the state of financial markets,
about liking and disliking individuals, organisations, ideologies, and
consumer goods. It is necessary to examine what aspects of emotional
experience sentiment analysis aims to capture, how and in what way this
may be evaluated. This workshop focuses on three strands of research which
will serve to enhance the development of automated sentiment analysis
systems of free text for real world applications.
