Supercategories

When analyzing sentences and sentiment, it is usually advantageous to organize the comments into different categories called “supercategories.” The typical supercategories usually include:

• Person
• Place
• Product
• Price
• Promotion
• Process
• Company
• Ambience

The usual way to determine which supercategory a statement belongs in is by examining and classifying the predicate. The reason why we classify into supercategories is to aid analysis.
