dear Charles and student there an R package called syuzhet which has sentiment lexicons included. Another option is to use the R-package tidytext which includes the NRC-lexicon. The manuals provide some examples on how to use it. The drawback is, you need to have experience with R or learn it. It's not a waste because R can do a lot more than sentiment analysis. These packages and R are for free. see: - https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/syuzhet/vignettes/syuzhet-vignette.h... - https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tidytext/vignettes/tidytext.html hope this helps best Maurice Op do 5 sep. 2019 om 12:53 schreef Charles M.

Dear colleagues,
One of our students is wanting to analyze emotional content in in the comment fields of a major newspaper vis-a-vis specific hot-button issues.
She has a good tool (I think) for scrapping the data - but she is stymied over the choice of an emotion analysis tool. She has looked at Senpy (http://senpy.gsi.upm.es/#test) and Twinword <https://www.twinword.com/api/emotion-analysis.php> - the latter seems the most accurate, but it is also expensive. She has recently discovered DepecheMood emotion lexicons (Staiano, J., & Guerini, M. (2014). Depechemood: a lexicon for emotion analysis from crowd-annotated news. arXiv preprint arXiv:1405.1605.) - but this suffers from a lack of clarity in terms of explaining its emotional categories: awe, indifference, sad, amusement , annoyance, joy, fear and anger.
For my part, I am entirely clueless. Any suggestions that she might pursue would be greatly appreciated.
