As part of a project to extract sentiment automatically from text, we used the Appraisal framework to annotate texts.
The very first step in the annotation involved the creation of system networks to use in the coding process. The following are system networks created using UAM Corpus Tool, and based on the explanations in J. Martin and P. White (2005) The Language of Evaluation: Appraisal in English. London: Palgrave McMillan.
Any comments or suggestions on the network are more than welcome. I would also like to share annotations, or conclusions drawn from (especially large-scale) annotations. Send to Maite Taboada (mtaboada@sfu.ca).
