Recently, there is a lot of research that aims to estimate emotion from text. The meanings of linguistic expressions used in daily life vary depending on the context in which they are used. That is to say, the information they contain presents ambiguities. Especially the so-called “Wakamono Kotoba,” Japanese language used by young people contains semantic ambiguities. Such words are usually not included in the existing dictionaries, making the meanings of these words difficult to be recognized. In this research project we proposed a method to estimate emotion from sentences that include Wakamono Kotoba by using statistical learning methods such as Naive Bayes method and Accumulation method. The existing research usually focused on learning methods using word or word N-gram as features. However, such word-based features are insufficient to process Wakamono Kotoba because Wakamono Kotoba often cannot be recognized as one semantic word by morphological analysis. In this paper we describe how we constructed the linguistic resource of Wakamono Kotoba emotion corpus to be used for emotion recognition and introduce the features we obtained from statistical analysis. Our Wakamono Kotoba emotion corpus includes Japanese words used by young people to express emotion. These were mainly gathered from Weblogs that were written by young people from their teens to their twenties.
