The NRC Valence, Arousal, and Dominance (VAD) Lexicon includes a list of more than 20,000 English words and their valence, arousal, and dominance scores. For a given word and a dimension (V/A/D), the scores range from 0 (lowest V/A/D) to 1 (highest V/A/D). The lexicon with its fine-grained real-valued scores was created by manual annotation using Best--Worst Scaling. The lexicon is markedly larger than any of the existing VAD lexicons

Words play a central role in language and thought. Several influential factor analysis studies have shown that the primary dimensions of word meaning are valence, arousal, and dominance (VAD) (Osgood et al., 1957; Russell, 1980, 2003).

• valence is the positive--negative or pleasure--displeasure dimension;
• arousal is the excited--calm or active--passive dimension; and
• dominance is the powerful--weak or 'have full control'--'have no control' dimension.
