Rather than pursue a complete order as produced by paying attention to the mean scores of human ratings only, we take into account to what extent assessors consistently rate pairs of adjectives relative to each other. We show that different available automatic methods for producing polar intensity scores produce results that correlate well with our gold standard, and discuss some conceptual questions surrounding the notion of polar intensity.}, language = {en} }
