Resumo
Evaluative language is receiving more and more attention both in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) and in the Corpus Linguistics 8CL) communities, since opinions can be a key aspect in another person's decisions. In order to improve the automatic analysis of evaluative language, it is necessary to develop high-quality cross-linguistic annotated corpora to count on sufficient resources for automated processing. For this reason, this chapter describes the annotation of a corpus of reviews from Play Store with Appraisal features, a very influential theoretical framework in the CL community used to categorise linguistic resources used for negotiating emotions, judgements and evaluations in English and Spanish, as well as the main linguistic conclusions that can be drawn form the use of Appraisal in both languages.
