对刺激的情绪反应通常以三个称为效价的变量来衡量,唤醒和支配。基于这样的维度,Bradley和Lang(1999)出版了《英语单词情感规范》(ANEW),1,034个非语境词的情感评分语料库。扩展和适应许多语言,ANEW提供了一个语料库来评估和预测人类对不同刺激的反应,它已被用于许多涉及情绪分析的研究中。然而,当这些概念在某些情境背景下被情境化时,ANEW似乎不能适当地预测对概念的情感反应,其中单词可以具有与非上下文场景中的单词不同的含义。这些语境化的情感规范尚未得到充分的对比,因为文献并未在特定语境中提供ANEW列表的语料库。在此基础上,本文报道了在特定上下文(悬疑的虚构场景)中为原始的1,034个ANEW单词创建新的情感规范语料库。进行了广泛的定量数据分析,比较了两个语料库,确认情感评级受到上下文的高度影响。该语料库可以作为补充材料下载。
The emotional response to a stimulus is typically measured in three variables called valence, arousal and
dominance. Based on such dimensions, Bradley and Lang (1999) published the Affective Norms for English Words (ANEW), a corpus of affective ratings for 1,034 non-contextualized words. Expanded and adapted to many languages, ANEW provides a corpus to evaluate and to predict human responses to different stimuli, and it has been used in a number of studies involving analysis of emotions. However, ANEW seems not to appropriately predict affective responses to concepts when these are contextualized in certain situational backgrounds, in which words can have different connotations from those in non-contextualized scenarios. These contextualized affective norms have not been sufficiently contrasted yet because the literature does not provide a corpus of the ANEW list in specific contexts. On this basis, this paper
reports on the creation of a new corpus of affective norms for the original 1,034 ANEW words in a particular context (a fictional scene of suspense). An extensive quantitative data analysis comparing both corpora was carried out, confirming that the affective ratings are highly influenced by the context. The corpus can be downloaded as Supplementary Material.
