Investigation of Emotive Expressions of Spoken Sentences

When we meet an emotion keyword in a sentence that expresses a kind of emotion, or a word that does not directly express emotion but carries an attitude clue, it could be the case that the speaker is just stating a truth without any affection; it could be an expression of attitudes or emotive states of the agent but using different ways, or it could be other cases. In this case, it seems doubtable to determine the exact communicative emotion function of a sentence just based on the “keywords”. This paper endeavors to investigate the collective influence of some factors to the communicative emotion function of a sentence. These factors include emotion keywords, and sentence features such as the mood, negation, etc. we believe that the results will be useful for emotion detection or generation of short sentences.
