NRC Word-Emotion Association Lexicon

Description

A quanteda dictionary object containing Mohammad and Charron's (2010, 2013) English version of the NRC Word-Emotion Association Lexicon (aka NRC Emotion Lexicon aka EmoLex): association of words with eight emotions (anger, fear, anticipation, trust, surprise, sadness, joy, and disgust) and two sentiments (negative and positive) manually annotated on Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

The Sentiment and Emotion Lexicons is a collection of lexicons that was entirely created by the experts of the National Research Council of Canada. Developed with a wide range of applications, this lexicon collection can be used in a multitude of contexts such as sentiment analysis, product marketing, consumer behaviour and even political campaign analysis.

The technology uses a list of words that help identify emotions, sentiment, as well as analyzing hashtags, emoticons and word-colour associations. The lexicons contain entries for English words, and can be used to analyze English texts.
