Simon Fraser University	SFU Opinion and Comments Corpus	The SFU Opinion and Comments Corpus (SOCC) is a corpus for the analysis of online news comments. It contains comments and the articles from which the comments originated. The articles are all opinion articles, not hard news articles. The corpus is larger than any other currently available comments corpora, and has been collected with attention to preserving reply structures and other metadata. In addition to the raw corpus, they also present annotations for four different phenomena: constructiveness, toxicity, negation and its scope, and appraisal.
