Abstract
On social media, the number of users are increasing exponentially. The information contents posted and tweeted by the user are also increasing exponentially. A different meaning of the sentiment is hidden inside the message. Analysing the nature of the text is still a very challenging task. The sentiment analysis is one of the emerging and challenging fields. In the proposed work, the data has been extracted from Twitter with the dataset of around 145,464 comments. In particular, the English-Punjabi dictionary has been created for opinionated word. The opinionated words are categorized into two parts as positive dictionary and negative dictionary. These are stored in gazetteer list and then a statistical technique has been applied for sentiment analysis.
