Abstract
The paper presents the results of the sentiment analysis of the US and
Ukrainian presidential speeches. By means of SentiStrength and UAM Corpus
Tool programs, we attempt to extract opinions and sentiments in the speeches of
Donald Trump and Petro Poroshenko. The main contribution of this study is the
adaptation of the SentiStrength program to the Ukrainian language by
compiling a political domain glossary of the Ukrainian emotion-bearing words.
Furthermore, we compare lexical means of sentiment expression in the analyzed
texts.
