SENTIMENT POLARITY TYPES OF COLLOCATIONS FOR 'TOO' AND 'VERY': A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Abstract
This comparative study examines the sentiment polarity types of collocations involving the adverbs 'too' and 'very'. The aim of the study is to investigate how these adverbs are used in different linguistic contexts to convey positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. A large corpus of written texts was analyzed to identify and categorize the collocations associated with 'too' and 'very' in terms of sentiment polarity. The results reveal distinct patterns of sentiment polarity for each adverb, indicating their nuanced usage in expressing different degrees of intensity or extremity. This study contributes to our understanding of the pragmatic and semantic functions of 'too' and 'very' in collocations and sheds light on their role in conveying sentiment in language.
