@WordWeaver_ Perhaps. Though the validity of current methods for sentiment analysis seems so low that I wonder if this is really such a threat… For instance, automated counts of emotion words hardly correlate with experienced emotion https://t.co/JOqAYV1am

@Amit_Goldenb @bnbakker Not so sure about this work: The validity of counting online words in measuring emotions seems rather limited. May not correlate with emotion experience at all. https://t.co/JOqAYV1amT

Do LIWC's positive and negative emotion categories predict emotion? New work from Ethan Kross suggests no: https://t.co/SPpWqveBca. Very much in line with my work showing conceptually similar outcomes.
