[Corpora-List] Meta Question regarding sentiment/opinion/reputation was Re: Campagne d=?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=99=C3=A9tiquetage_?=en sentiments de tweets et blogs

[Alexander Osherenko]

I would differentiate between sentiment, opinion, reputation etc. not using
a lexicon but orientate much more towards a general and intuitive
psychological disposition. I remember it was a critical question in my
research when I was looking for a corpus with strictly emotional texts to
perform opinion mining. However, since there are only few of emotional
corpora I needed another solution. Hence, I decided to use non-emotional
corpora if I can believably map non-emotional details onto emotional
labeling. For instance, I chose a corpus with product reviews that are
labeled according to technical details such as camera speed etc. and map
this labeling onto a customer's satisfaction with a product that is in my
opinion reflects emotional labeling.
