SloEmoLex is a lexicon of emotion, valence, arousal and dominance for 19,998 Slovenian entries. It includes and extends the Slovenian part of the LiLaH lexicon (Ljubešić et al., 2020; http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1318), in which words are annotated with binary values for association to one of the 8 basic emotions (anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, trust) and binary values for association with positive/negative sentiment.

SloEmoLex extends the LiLaH emotion lexicon with VAD scores from NRC VAD v1 (http://saifmohammad.com/WebPages/nrc-vad.html), and emotion intensity scores from NRC Emotion Intensity lexicon v1 (http://saifmohammad.com/WebPages/AffectIntensity.htm). Apart from the approx. 14,000 words present in Lilah, the lexicon includes 5,931 additional entries from the NRC VAD lexicon, some of which were translated with the use of sloWNet 3.1 (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1026), and some entries (3,273) retained the machine translation provided in the Slovenian part of the NRC VAD lexicon.
