An internet slang annotated dictionary and its use in assessing message attitude and sentiments

We present an approach to create an Internet slang annotated dictionary to help identifying the level of specific attitudes and moods (specifically aggressiveness, distress, hatefulness and offensiveness) in social networks and social media posts. The annotation refers to the attitudes, with the actual meaning having a low importance. The annotated dictionary is intended for automatic use in the detection of harmful and help-requiring messages. The main contributions are the concept of dictionary annotated for attitude and the method of building and annotating the dictionary, which are not typical for slang dictionaries.
