The Royal Birth of 2013: Analysing and Visualising Public Sentiment in the UK Using Twitter
Analysis of information retrieved from microblogging services such as Twitter
can provide valuable insight into public sentiment in a geographic region. This
insight can be enriched by visualising information in its geographic context.
Two underlying approaches for sentiment analysis are dictionary-based and
machine learning. The former is popular for public sentiment analysis, and the
latter has found limited use for aggregating public sentiment from Twitter
data. The research presented in this paper aims to extend the machine learning
approach for aggregating public sentiment. To this end, a framework for
analysing and visualising public sentiment from a Twitter corpus is developed.
A dictionary-based approach and a machine learning approach are implemented
within the framework and compared using one UK case study, namely the royal
birth of 2013. The case study validates the feasibility of the framework for
analysis and rapid visualisation. One observation is that there is good
correlation between the results produced by the popular dictionary-based
approach and the machine learning approach when large volumes of tweets are
analysed. However, for rapid analysis to be possible faster methods need to be
developed using big data techniques and parallel methods.Comment: http://www.blessonv.com/research/publicsentiment/ 9 pages. Submitted

Correlate not optional: PP sprouting and parallelism in “much less” ellipsis
Clauses that are parallel in form and meaning show processing advantages in ellipsis and coordination structures (Frazier et al. 1984; Kehler 2000; Carlson 2002). However, the constructions that have been used to show a parallelism advantage do not always require a strong semantic relationship between clauses. We present two eye tracking while reading studies on focus-sensitive coordination structures, an understudied form of ellipsis which requires the generation of a contextually salient semantic relation or scale between conjuncts. However, when the remnant of ellipsis lacks an overt correlate in the matrix clause and must be “sprouted” in the ellipsis site, the relation between clauses is simplified to entailment. Instead of facilitation for sentences with an entailment relation between clauses, our online processing results suggest that violating parallelism is costly, even when doing so could ease the semantic relations required for interpretation
