EXPLORING SENTIMENT POLARITY TYPES OF COLLOCATIONS FOR 'TOO' AND 'VERY': A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Abstract
This study investigates the sentiment polarity types of collocations for the intensifiers 'too' and 'very' in a comparative analysis. The abstract emphasizes the significance of understanding how these intensifiers affect sentiment and explores their usage in different linguistic contexts. The study utilizes a corpus-based approach to analyze a large dataset of texts from various sources. Through computational linguistic techniques and sentiment analysis, the study identifies and categorizes collocations with 'too' and 'very' based on their sentiment polarity, including positive, negative, and neutral. The findings provide insights into the nuanced differences in sentiment expression when using 'too' and 'very' as intensifiers, contributing to the understanding of sentiment analysis and the study of linguistic affectivity.
