Summary

Additional categories of sentiment composition rules to those given in Section 5.2.1 are listed here.

11. Having everything or nothing: If an entity has everything that one wants, then one is positive about the entity. Conversely, if an entity has nothing that one wants, then one is negative about the entity, for example,

This car has everything that my mother really wants.”

This plan has nothing that I need.”

This car has all the features.”

We thus have the following composition rules:

PO :: = HAVE EVERYTHING

NE :: = HAVE NOTHING

HAVE :: = have | has | …

EVERYTHING :: = everything | all | …

NOTHING :: = nothing | …

In using these rules, we need to consider some exceptions, which are not difficult to deal with, for example,

This car has everything that is bad.”

This car has nothing bad.”

This program has all the bad features.”

12. Being exact the way that one wants: If something is exact the way that one wants, then one is positive about the entity.

This phone is designed exactly the way that I wanted.”

They polished the car exactly the way that I wanted.”

My hair looks exact the way that I want.”

We then have the following PO rule:

PO :: = EXACTLY the way ONE WANT

EXACTLY :: = exact | exactly | …

ONE :: = I | we | you | one | …

WANT :: = want | need | …

Composition rules for this category of sentiment expressions can be diverse. The PO rule here covers only a small subset of cases.

13. Having or using some positive or negative potential items, or having something that one wants: If an entity has some positive potential items (PPIs) or anything that one wants, then one tends to be positive about the entity.
