Abstract

We present a quantitative analysis of grumpi-
ness as expressed in Austrian German text data.
Based on a sample of annotated texts, we ex-
amine to what extent grumpiness relates to
emotional properties and stylistic features. We
show that grumpiness is mostly related to emo-
tional configurations characteristic of anger but
that grumpiness can alternatively signal posi-
tive emotions in ironic contexts.
