Extracts sentiment and sentiment-derived plot arcs from text using a variety of sentiment dictionaries conveniently packaged for consumption by R users. Implemented dictionaries include syuzhet (default) developed in the Nebraska Literary Lab, afinn developed by Finn Arup Nielsen, bing developed by Minqing Hu and Bing Liu, and nrc developed by Mohammad, Saif M. and Turney, Peter D. Applicable references are available in README.md and in the documentation for the get_sentiment function. The package also provides a hack for implementing Stanford's coreNLP sentiment parser. The package provides several methods for plot arc normalization.
