Abstract

We introduce a model for attitude prediction that takes the reader and the writer perspectives into account and enables a joint reception of the attitudinal dispositions involved. For instance, a proponent of the reader might turn out to be a villain, or some moral values of his might be negatively affected. A formal model is specified that induces in a compositional, bottom-up manner informative relation tuples which indicate perspectives on attitudes. This enables the reader to focus on interesting cases, since they are directly accessible from the parts of the relation tuple.
