    Dear Stephan,
     
    I agree with Martin regarding the importance of context. However, having stated that, you might have better luck in the field of psychology where the results of , for example, synonym tasks and other vocabulary tasks have been published.
     
    Best wishes,

    Dear All,

    I am looking for a list of words (English or German) that were rated for the
    emotion they convey (for example, a value like -.98 for an emotionally very
    negative word such as 'death', or +.96 for a positive word such as 'love').
    The words could be taken from any domain, and there are no constraints on
    word class (noun, verb, adjective, etc.).
    Eventually, I am planning to run a corresponding "norming study" by myself,
    but I first wanted to be sure whether this has already been done by others.
    I'd appeciate any hint where I could find such a data base.

    Thank you,
    Stephan
