  abstract  = {This paper discusses the need for a dictionary of affixal negations and regular
	antonyms to facilitate their automatic detection in text. Without such a
	dictionary, affixal negations are very difficult to detect. In addition, we
	show that the set of affixal negations is not homogeneous, and that different
	NLP tasks may require different subsets. A dictionary can store the subtypes of
	affixal negations, making it possible to select a certain subset or to make
	inferences on the basis of these subtypes. We take a first step towards
	creating a negation dictionary by annotating all direct antonym pairs inWordNet
	using an existing typology of affixal negations. By highlighting some of the
	issues that were encountered in this annotation experiment, we hope to provide
	some insights into the necessary steps of building a negation dictionary.},
