Extending and Using a Sentiment Lexicon for Latin in a Linked Data Framework

In this paper we present the methodology followed to extend a Latin sentiment lexicon (called LatinAffectus), the process of inclusion of the lexicon in a knowledge base of interoperable linguistic resources for Latin and one use case performed on the treebank of Dante Alighieri’s Latin works annotated following the Universal Dependencies guidelines. In addition, we report on our first attempt at linking the polarity scores of SentiWordNet 3.0 to a manually revised version of Latin WordNet.
