Les prédicats de sentiment

We present a linguistic description of the predicates of feelings based on both semantic and syntactic principles. Our hypothesis is that the sort of feeling expressed by a noun (sadness, anger, fear, etc.) is linked to the lexico-syntactic distribution of this noun. The predicates and their mutual relations will be incorporated into a model in order to map out a representation usable for automatic processing of natural language.Yannick Mathieu Yvette.
