ATTRIBUTES

file

The text file to analyze.

text

A text string to analyze instead of a text file.

sentences

Computed result.

scores

Computed result.

nrc_scores

Computed result.

METHODS

new()

$opinion = Lingua::EN::Opinion->new(%arguments);

Create a new Lingua::EN::Opinion object.

analyze()

$opinion->analyze();

Measure the emotional sentiment of text. This method sets the scores and sentences attributes.

averaged_score()

$averaged = $opinion->averaged_score($bins);

Compute the averaged score given a number of (integer) bins (default: 10).

This reduces the amount of "noise" in the original signal. As such, it loses information detail.

For example, if there are 400 sentences, bins of 10 will result in 40 data points. Each point will be the mean of each successive bin-sized set of points in the analyzed score.

nrc_sentiment()

Compute the NRC sentiment of the given text by sentences.

This is given by a 0/1 list of these 10 emotional elements:

anger
anticipation
disgust
fear
joy
negative
positive
sadness
surprise
trust

This method sets the nrc_scores attribute.
