SELF & FEIL: Emotion and Intensity Lexicons for Finnish

This paper introduces a Sentiment and Emotion Lexicon for Finnish (SELF) and a Finnish Emotion Intensity Lexicon (FEIL). We describe the lexicon creation process and evaluate the lexicon using some commonly available tools. The lexicon uses annotations projected from the NRC Emotion Lexicon with carefully edited translations. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive sentiment and emotion lexicon for Finnish.
