We examined 100 adverbs of manner, comparing their definitions as laid out in WordNet with their sentiment scores as given in SentiWordNet. It was concluded that adverbs of manner are in themselves sentiment-laden and that there is a significant-enough disparity between the definitions and the sentiment scores to introduce errors in SentiWordNet-based automated sentiment evaluations of sentences.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Translation}, author={Banning, Linda Amoako and Adade-Yeboah, Asuamah}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={34–42} }
