Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an unusual English dataset for affect exploration in text. It describes a corpus of fairy tales from three sources that have been annotated for affect at the sentence level. Special attention is given to data marked by high annotator agreement. A qualitative analysis of characteristics of high agreement sentences from H. C. Andersen reveals several interesting trends, illustrated by examples.
