Sumario:Dictionary-based sentiment analysis is a text mining application that allows comments about the sentimental states of the text or documents through the sentimental poles of the words. In recent years, it has become quite popular in many disciplines such as trade, health, education, usage for various purposes. It is applied in many languages depending on the sentiment dictionaries, which are the main component, are created. Unlike inflectional languages such as English and German, the number of dictionary-based sentiment analysis studies using the Turkish language, which is a sequencing language, is very limited. When the literature of sentiment analysis is examined separately in terms of the material used; it is seen that the number of studies on long-format literary texts, which have been functioning as sentiment transmission throughout history, is also quite limited. In the light of these knowledges, a comprehensive method of creating a domain-specific sentiment dictionary and applying dictionary-based sentiment analysis on Turkish texts is proposed in the R software.
