英语语言的积极性
Positivity of the English language
摘要：
在过去的一百万年里，人类语言作为社会交流和符号表达的基本工具而出现和发展。人们使用语言的一部分是为了传达情感信息，这就引出了一个核心和偶然的问题：（1）自然语言的情感谱是什么？（2）自然语言是中立的、积极的还是消极的？在这里，我们报告说，超过10,000个最常用的英语单词的人类感知的积极性表现出明显的积极偏见。更深入地说，我们的特点和量化分布的字积极性为四个大的和不同的语料库，表明它们的形式是广泛不变的字的使用频率。
英文摘要：
Over the last million years, human language has emerged and evolved as a fundamental instrument of social communication and semiotic representation. People use language in part to convey emotional information, leading to the central and contingent questions: (1) What is the emotional spectrum of natural language? and (2) Are natural languages neutrally, positively, or negatively biased? Here, we report that the human-perceived positivity of over 10,000 of the most frequently used English words exhibits a clear positive bias. More deeply, we characterize and quantify distributions of word positivity for four large and distinct corpora, demonstrating that their form is broadly invariant with respect to frequency of word use.
