This assignment focuses on sentiment analysis from a couple of different corpora. First, an example analysis is reproduced from “Text Mining with R” (Robinson, J. S. and D.) using the novels of Jane Austen. Later, I apply similar sentiment analysis on Jack London’s White Fang using a different sentiment lexicon.
As an example of R’s capabilities, the below code block from Chapter 2 (Robinson, J. S. and D.) shows how to perform sentiment analysis with Jane Austen’s novels. The below code shows how to extract positive and negative lexicons from three different dictionaries: afinn; bing; and nrc.

As another example, we’ll perform similar sentiment analsyis on Jack London’s White Fang. For a different sentiment, we’ll search for fear since this story takes place in a dramatic natural setting.
