The paper considers the results from an investigation of the emotional characteristics of the words from an electronic school-aid dictionary by means of a program system (PS) developed on the purpose. The PS aims at stimulating and facilitating the process of foreign language learning by games adapted for learning purposes, as well as at labeling the words with categories of word tags, including positive and negative semantic orientation, type of word -- spoken, poetic, a term, jargon, an insulting word, an archaic word etc.; creating n-grams; annotating the words with the emotions they evoke. The investigation showed that 65% of the words in the electronic school-aid dictionary have a positive semantic value and 81% could evoke positive emotions.
