Sentiment Analysis Dictionaries

Question

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could obtain dictionaries of positive and negative words. I\'m looking into sentiment analysis and this is a crucial part of it.

Answer 1

Arriving a bit late I'll just note that dictionaries have a limited contribution for sentiment analysis. Some sentiment bearing sentences do not contain any "sentiment" word - e.g. "read the book" which could be positive in a book review while negative in a movie review. Similarly, the sentiment word "unpredictable" could be positive in the context of a thriller but negative when describing the breaks system of the Toyota.

and there are many more...
