Even though great attention has been given to polarity recognition, the research in emotion detection has had to rely on small emotion resources. In this paper, we present a methodology to build emotive lexicons by jointly exploiting vector space models and human annotation, and we provide the first results of the evaluation with a crowdsourcing experiment. %B Second Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics CLiC-it 2015 %V II %@ 978-88-99200-62-6 %G eng %6 2
