Abstract
Abstract. Sentiment analysis often relies on a semantic orientation lexicon of positive and negative words. Determining the semantic orientation of words is necessary for correct estimation of the content of statements in the media, Internet, in the writings and speech. Qualitative adverbs expressing evaluation, intensity, direction of action are important as the modifiers of the main sentence predicate. In this paper we propose a method for extracting seed set of adverbs from a collection of pairs of antonym. A model based on the representation of a set of synonyms from the Russian lexicons as a graph, and determination the semantic orientation of the adverbs concerning three main dimensions of the semantic differential also demonstrated. The assessment of performance of the method in comparison with the dictionary data shows effectiveness of the method obtained.
