This lexicon includes words that have been labelled as positive or negative. This is useful for tasks like sentiment analysis, which involves determining the overall sentiment expressed in a piece of text. To use the lexicon, process the text and check each word against the lexicon to determine its sentiment. To note, this sentiment lexicon was created based on a general corpus, sourced from news articles
