Abstract
Abstract. In some applications of opinion mining in text, it is important to distinguish what an author is talking about from the subjective stance towards the topic. Therefore, it needs to find the relation between sentiment expression and target. This paper proposes a novel method based on dependency grammars to mine the relation. In this method, the process of mining the relations is turned into a procedure of searching in the dependency tree of a sentence. The result of our experiments shows that word dependency relation based methods is more flexible and effective than some previous surface patterns based methods.

A model for linguistically adequate classes of dependency structures in treebanks is given, using the Danish Dependency Treebank, and it is shown that projectivity does not lend itself to adequate treatment of certain non-local syntactic phenomena which are extensively studied in the literature of constituent-based theories.

Results indicate that constituency parsers produce parse tree paths that can more easily be aligned to argument substrings, perform better in precision and recall, and have more favorable learning curves than those produced by a dependency parser.
