We hereby present work aimed at giving an account of Greek verbs denoting emotion. Emotion verbs were identified from various sources and classified on the basis of their syntactic and semantic properties. The work described hereby is placed within a larger context, aimed towards defining and describing the semantic field of emotions by means of identifying, selecting, classifying and organizing a core lexicon of emotions in a conceptual DB. The ultimate goal is the exhaustive description of Modern Greek in the prospect of developing a lexical resource that will be appropriate for a range of Natural Language Processing Applications.
