Abstract

This paper deals with lexical resources applied for opinion mining - the identification and extraction of opinions from free texts. Opinion mining comprises the segmentation of documents, passages, sentences, or phrases to objective (factual) and subjective parts, and the evaluation of the subjective attitude toward a given fact. We briefly introduce an automatic system that was designed to crawl various information sources available on the Web - newspapers, Internet blogs and forums - to collect and identify different opinions on a given topic and to report diversity of opinions across languages and countries. A special attention is paid to linguistic resources used, especially to wordnet extensions that play a crucial role in the identification of subjective expressions.
