    Abstract

    In this paper, we observe the eects that discourse function attribute to the task of training learned classiers for sentiment analysis. Experimental results from our study show that training on a corpus of primarily persuasive documents can have a negative eect on the performance of supervised sentiment classication. In addition we demonstrate that through use of the Multinomial Nave Bayes classier we can minimise the detrimental eects of discourse function during sentiment analysis.
