ABSTRACT:
A method for adaptively determining the attitudinal function of a lexical item occurring in a natural language document, comprising determining a base valence of the lexical item; identifying a contextual valence shifter (CVS) wherein the lexical item is within scope of the CVS; and determining an actual valence of the lexical item by adjusting the base valence based on the CVS.
