TL;DR
A lexicon derived from English documents is evaluated, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and it is shown that it provides superior performance to previously studied lexicons, including one derived from WordNet.
Abstract
We examine the viability of building large polarity lexicons semi-automatically from the web. We begin by describing a graph propagation framework inspired by previous work on constructing polarity lexicons from lexical
