Sentiment space

Here we take a large dataset (13,915 terms) of terms rated in terms of core affects (Valence, Arousal, Dominance) by Warriner et al., 2013. We filter these through mood/emotion words (taken from Eerola and Saari). We then take a mood term proposed by Dennis for a specific chord and seek few synonyms. Here I have divided the synomyns into close, moderate, and distant ones based on arbitrary distances on the valence arousal topography. The distance is easy to modify.

The idea is to be able to cover the affective space in a way that allows us to control the space and the terms. Using variant synonyms is also useful because we can then collapse these into underlying concepts easier (despite the fact that some people prefer one word, others another variant, they may all still represent the underlying node in the affective space).

This is just one technique to create some alternative terms for the experiment and it also shows how consistently the chosen 3 or 4 terms for each chord denote one particular “affect area” in this circumplex map of affects. There are other ways of doing it, which I also explored, but this is the most straightforward and easy to customise further.

Even though the database of terms is large, sometimes the root of the word is different from what Dennis you have proposed. I have made some adjustment to the “lemmas” in these cases to be able to use the database.

I only now made some early examples (first 6 chords) to demonstrate this technique, but it is easy to apply to this all and then manually select good close and not-so-close alternatives for the experiment.
