Dear Charles, I'm not an expert, but I think she should be talking with linguists - and I think that what she's looking for is typically called sentiment analysis, not emotion analysis. There are probably tools for social media marketing that might be more readily accessible, but probably less scientifically transparent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiment_analysis Jill Air-L på vegne av Charles M.

She has a good tool (I think) for scrapping the data - but she is stymied over the choice of an emotion analysis tool. She has looked at Senpy (http://senpy.gsi.upm.es/#test) and Twinword <https://www.twinword.com/api/emotion-analysis.php> - the latter seems the most accurate, but it is also expensive. She has recently discovered DepecheMood emotion lexicons (Staiano, J., & Guerini, M. (2014). Depechemood: a lexicon for emotion analysis from crowd-annotated news. arXiv preprint arXiv:1405.1605.) - but this suffers from a lack of clarity in terms of explaining its emotional categories: awe, indifference, sad, amusement , annoyance, joy, fear and anger. For my part, I am entirely clueless. Any suggestions that she might pursue would be greatly appreciated. best, - charles ess -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess@media.uio.no _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
