Adjective versions of booster dictionary adverbs don't appear in lexicon #84

Closed sastoudt closed 5 years ago

sastoudt commented 5 years ago

Shouldn't the corresponding adjectives for the booster dictionary adverbs appear in the lexicon?

For example "tremendously" is in the booster dictionary but "tremendous" isn't in the lexicon. Same with "exceptionally" and "exceptional."

Or perhaps the adjective version should also be in the booster dictionary (tremendous flaw has different sentiment than tremendous effort)?

Great point! I've addressed this with additions of adjective forms of adverbs in the booster dictionary (for those not accounted for using empirically derived valence scores).
