Abstract
A computational semantic lexicon of French verbs of feeling, emotion, and psychological states is presented here, as well as FEELING, a software program using this lexicon to provide an interpretation and to generate paraphrases. Semantic representations are described by means of a set of feature structures. Sixty newspaper “letters to the Editor” were taken as a domain for the evaluation of this work.
