Abstract

This study presents a model for affective text analysis of online multi-party chat records in Turkish language. Online chats have challenges like non-standard word usage, grammatical irregularities, abbreviation usage, and spelling mistakes. We propose several pre-processing steps to deal with these. We adapt an affective word dictionary from English to Turkish, and by expanding it, obtain 15,222 words with annotations for valence, arousal, and dominance. We also employ a list of abbreviations, emoticons, interjections, modifiers (intensifiers and diminishers), and other linguistic indicators to capture the overall affective state at the sentence level. Lastly, we recruit and train annotators to obtain affective ground truth, and assess the accuracy of the proposed rule-based approach on a multi-party chat database collected from an online gaming environment.
