Get specific sentiment lexicons in a tidy format, with one row per word, in a form that can be joined with a one-word-per-row dataset. The "bing" option comes from the included sentiments() data frame, and others call the relevant function in the textdata package.

get_sentiments(lexicon = c("bing", "afinn", "loughran", "nrc"))

Arguments

lexicon

The sentiment lexicon to retrieve; either "afinn", "bing", "nrc", or "loughran"

Value

A tbl_df with a word column, and either a sentiment

column (if lexicon is not "afinn") or a numeric value column (if lexicon is "afinn").
