To date, a vast majority of NLP and computational linguistics research deals with ground truth data constructed through the assignment of discrete labels to text messages by annotators.

Emotion classification, a closely related task, typically seeks to predict the presence or absence of an emotion, i.e., if there is joy or no joy, anger or no anger, fear or no fear, in a particular message (Alm et al., 2005; Aman and Szpakowicz, 2007; Wen and Wan, 2014) .

Second, features derived from the advanced dimensions of the affective lexicons appeared across the emotions too, suggesting the meaningfulness of lexicons distinguishing finer dimensions of psycholingusitic properties of words.

On emotion category dimension, counts of anger words from NRC-Hash-Emo (NRCHash anger) and from E2I (E2I anger) are positively associated with anger intensity in tweets. Third, more fine-grained dimensions from E2I are shown as top individual features correlated with anger and sadness intensities and in particular with sadness intensity.

Furthermore, the results revealed interesting word-level and message-level feature associations across the four emotions. While the top features for intensities of anger, fear and sadness in tweets (9 or 10 out of 10 top features) are positive associations with the presence and higher amount of negative or emotion-specific words, the top features for intensity of joy (7 out of 10 top features) are negative associations with the absence and lower amount of negative words.
