Title: Colexification networks encode affective meaning
Abstract:
We explore the structure of meanings in human language through the analysis of colexification networks, developing methods to automatically improve affective science resources.
We prove that affective meaning is encoded in colexification networks and deploy them to improve state of the art methods to infer the affective ratings of words.
