Lexical Resources

• Enhanced Morality Lexicon - This lexicon is the expanded and enhanced version of the Moral Foundations Dictionary, which was originally created by Graham and colleagues (Graham et al., 2013). We syntactically disambiguated the original dictionary and increased it in size and scope. We manually validated our version and evaluated it against benchmarks. Our Enhanced Morality Lexicon (EML) contains a list of 4,636 morality related words. Related paper from WASSA Workshop @ NAACL: Rezapour R., Shah S., & Diesner J. (2019) Enhancing the measurement of social effects by capturing morality.
