Abstract

This paper describes work done as part of a small ESRC project coding forum contributions and tweets. The R tm analyses have extended the hand coding using sentiment analysis and general inquirer tag codes, and have explored ways of automatically coding pro-independence and pro-union attitudes in tweets.
Future developments may allow the identification of tweet bots, to discover the relative usage by the yes and no campaigns.
