Adjective Sentiment dictionary

This script calculates the mean sentiment of the adjectives in a text. -1, 0 and 1 denote a negative, neutral and positive sentiment respectively.

How to use the script

The script requires

• a file with a list of adjectives and their respective sentiment in the form of adjective_sentiment.txt. A sentiment dictionary is created from this list.
• a text with POS-tags in the form of test_news.txt or test_hobbies.txt. The tag 'JJ' stands for adjectives. This data is from the Brown corpus.

Example:

$ python3 adjective_sentiment.py adjective_sentiment.txt test_hobbies.txt
