Bug in the standard key - try sentiment(c("gave time", "time honored", "gave time honored"))

[ghost]

The treatment of multi-word lexicons is wrong:

sentiment(c("gave time", "time honored", "gave time honored")) element_id sentence_id word_count sentiment 1: 1 1 2 0.7071068 2: 2 1 2 0.7071068 3: 3 1 3 0.0000000

sentimentr::sentiment(c("gave time", "time honored", "he gave time honored then", 'love good nice'))
   element_id sentence_id word_count sentiment

1:          1           1          2 0.7071068
2:          2           1          2 0.7071068
3:          3           1          5 0.0000000
4:          4           1          3 1.1547005

lexicon::hash_sentiment_jockers_rinker[c('time honored', 'gave time','gave', 'time', 'honored', 
     'love', 'good', 'nice', 'love good', 'love nice')]

               x    y
 1: time honored 1.00
 2:    gave time 1.00
 3:         gave   NA
 4:         time   NA
 5:      honored 1.00
 6:         love 0.75
 7:         good 0.75
 8:         nice 0.50
 9:    love good   NA
10:    love nice   NA

This illustrates the OPs point that it's when there are multi words only there is an issue. Note the NULL example with love, nice, good

Correct. The issue exists when lexicon has multi words (phrases).
