Users

This will help you extract all the handles tagged in a tweet.

head(unlist(users(doge$text)),5)
#> [1] "@ConanOBrien:"     "@AdrianoCollalti:" "@BitcoinBarry1"   
#> [4] "@allyATL"          "@trust_in_andre"

Sentiment Analyzer

The emotions conveyed tweets using sentiment analysis. You have an option to specify details = TRUE (or FALSE). TRUE will return a more robust distribution of sentiments and not just Positive or Negative.

sentimentAnalyzer(doge$text, details = T)
#> Joining, by = "word"
#> Joining, by = "word"
#> # A tibble: 9 x 2
#>   sentiment        n
#>   <chr>        <int>
#> 1 anger           86
#> 2 anticipation   205
#> 3 disgust          5
#> 4 fear            53
#> 5 joy            190
#> 6 negative        35
#> 7 positive       210
#> 8 surprise         6
#> 9 trust           31

Specifying details = F

sentimentAnalyzer(doge$text, details = F)
#> Joining, by = "word"
#> Joining, by = "word"
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>   sentiment     n
#>   <chr>     <int>
#> 1 negative    123
#> 2 positive    348

top_words

#> Selecting by n
#>        word   n
#> 1     chars 100
#> 2   reuters  99
#> 3   graphic  54

#> # A tibble: 54 x 3
#> # Groups:   sentiment [2]
#>    word        sentiment     n
