Versioning

Releases will be numbered with the following semantic versioning format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

  • Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
  • New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
  • Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch

lexicon 1.3.0 -

MINOR FEATURES

IMPROVEMENTS

CHANGES

lexicon 1.2.0 - 1.2.1

BUG FIXES

  • hash_emoticons had '3' as 'laughing' when it should have been '=3'. This has been corrected.

NEW FEATURES

  • cliches added for comparison of common cliche phrases.

MINOR FEATURES

  • hash_nrc_emotion added as a token to emotion lookup table.

CHANGES

  • profanity_zac_anger contained 2 regexes marked as UTF-8 strings. These were dropped.

  • key_corporate_social_responsibility contained 5 regexes & 5 tokens marked as Latin-1 strings. These were pretty apostrophes that were converted to ASCII apostrophes.

lexicon 1.0.1 - 1.1.3

BUG FIXES

  • hash_lemmas had the lemma of as to be a. This was incorrect (spotted by Jonathan Bratt).

  • hash_lemmas had Spaces before 2 tokens (" furtherst", " skilled") meaning.
    This extra white space has been stripped.

  • The hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary contained "sparsely" which is also contained in hash_valence_shifters. This term has been dropped from the hash_sentiment_senticnett dictionary. See # 12 for more info.

NEW FEATURES

  • profanity_zac_anger added to provide a longer list of profane words.

  • profanity_racist added to provide a profane list that is specific for detecting racist terms.

  • key_regressive_imagery added to provide R users with access to Colin Martindale's (1975, 1990) English Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID). The Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID) is a text analysis coding taxonomy that can be used to measure the degree to which a text is primordial vs. conceptual.

  • key_corporate_social_responsibility added to provide R users with access to Pencle & Mălăescu's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Dictionary.

MINOR FEATURES

  • available_data picks up a regex argument to search for specific substrings and return matching rows.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • hash_sentiment_jockers_rinker now contains the word 'fuckin'. Additionally, the word 'fucking' has a milder negative value because this word, though often used as a negator, is also used as a amplifier. By reducing it's weight it allows more positive words to have more pull but if no polarized words exist 'fucking' will still keep the typical negative direction of the clause.
