IMPROVEMENTS

CHANGES

lexicon 1.2.0 - 1.2.1

MINOR FEATURES

• hash_nrc_emotion added as a token to emotion lookup table.

CHANGES

• profanity_zac_anger contained 2 regexes marked as UTF-8 strings. These were dropped.

• key_corporate_social_responsibility contained 5 regexes & 5 tokens marked as Latin-1 strings. These were pretty apostrophes that were converted to ASCII apostrophes.

lexicon 1.0.1 - 1.1.3

BUG FIXES

• hash_lemmas had the lemma of as to be a. This was incorrect (spotted by Jonathan Bratt).

• hash_lemmas had Spaces before 2 tokens (" furtherst", " skilled") meaning. This extra white space has been stripped.

• The hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary contained "sparsely" which is also contained in hash_valence_shifters. This term has been dropped from the hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary. See # 12 for more info.

NEW FEATURES

• profanity_zac_anger added to provide a longer list of profane words.

• profanity_racist added to provide a profane list that is specific for detecting racist terms.

• key_regressive_imagery added to provide R users with access to Colin Martindale's (1975, 1990) English Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID). The Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID) is a text analysis coding taxonomy that can be used to measure the degree to which a text is primordial vs. conceptual.

• key_corporate_social_responsibility added to provide R users with access to Pencle & Mălăescu's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Dictionary.

MINOR FEATURES

• available_data picks up a regex argument to search for specific substrings and return matching rows.

IMPROVEMENTS

• hash_sentiment_jockers_rinker now contains the word 'fuckin'. Additionally, the word 'fucking' has a milder negative value because this word, though often used as a negator, is also used as a amplifier. By reducing it's weight it allows more positive words to have more pull but if no polarized words exist 'fucking' will still keep the typical negative direction of the clause.
