Abstract

The article describes a prototype system aimed at monitoring attitudes toward any social group. The approach involves web mining and content analysis based on Rectitude Gain category from the Laswell dictionary of political values, extended into shallow predicate rules. The system requires no lexical sentiment resources and no training corpora. It has been designed, implemented and tested in Polish.
