초록
A lot of research has been conducted on the properties of lexical items on the basis of data extracted from various corpora. Following this tendency, this study investigates diverse empathetic adverbs and adjectives retrieved from a corpus of meteorological news. All the adverbs and adjectives occurring in the corpus are first identified in a tagged corpus that is obtained through the help of a part-of-speech tagger. The concordances of these adverbs and adjectives are then obtained automatically by applying a concordancer to the tagged corpus. Empathetic adverbs and adjectives are finally collected manually through a close look at each of these concordances. This study shows that in meteorological news empathetic adverbs convey positive/negative or expected/unexpected feelings about weather-related situations described in the news and that empathetic adjectives convey positive/negative feelings about weather-related entities mentioned in the news. Therefore, the use of these empathetic adverbs and adjectives in everyday meteorological news provides important clues as to whether the weather in question has an adverse influence or a helpful influence on people.
