    SOME TEXT FROM LILLIAN LEE:
    ---------------------------

    Given your specific focus on subjective vs. objective adjectives and
    the use of co-occurrence measures, there might be some other papers of
    interest to you. In particular, Yu and Hatzivassiloglou separated
    subjective from objective documents and I believe sentences as well,
    using various word-based indicators. Peter Turney and Michael Littman
    have a number of papers on positive vs. negative adjectives. Bo Pang
    and my ACL '04 "cutsent" paper that someone referred you to separates
    subjective from objective sentences as well, and I believe Kim and
    Hovy did too. Beineke, Hastie et al expanded on Turney's approach.
    Hatzivassiloglou and McKeown had an earlier paper on predicting the
    semantic orientation of adjectives, which presumably influenced
    Hatzivassiloglou and Wiebe's 2000 paper on the effects of adjective
    orientation on sentence subjectivity. Jonathon Read's masters thesis
    addresses using pointwise mutual information as a cooccurrence measure
    (which is essentially what Turney used, as well).

    As for "summarizing and extracting sentiment", which sounds incidental
    to your focus but is a category you mentioned in your email, there are
    dozens of such papers; Wiebe et al's recent _Computational
    Linguistics_ paper gives a survey of about up to '03, and our '04
    paper gives some references occurring after that.
