Most of existing methods do not consider the influence of expression and tone on barrage sentiment analysis. This decreases the effect and accuracy of barrage sentiment analysis. Therefore, we propose a barrage sentiment analysis scheme based on expression and tone. First, we propose a new sentiment dictionary based on expression and tone to increase the effect of barrage sentiment analysis. Second, we propose a new calculation method of sentiment value based on expression and tone for barrage sentiment analysis to increase the accuracy. Meanwhile, we change a single threshold to a threshold range, to expand the scope of neutral barrages. Finally, the experimental results show that our scheme is more effective and practical than the existing methods in the scenario of barrage sentiment analysis.
