    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

> A [list][afinn] of English words rated for [valence][valence].

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/datasets-afinn-96
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var afinn96 = require( '@stdlib/datasets-afinn-96' );
```

#### afinn96()

Returns a [list][afinn] of `1468` unique English words (and phrases) rated for [valence][valence]. Negative words have a negative [valence][valence] (`[-5,0)`). Positive words have a positive [valence][valence] (`(0,5]`). Neutral words have a [valence][valence] of `0`.

```javascript
var words = afinn96();
/* returns
    [
        ['abandon',-2],
        ['abandons',-2],
        ['abandoned',-2],
        ['absentee',-1],
        ['absentees',-1],
        ['aboard',1],
        ['abducted',-2],
        ['abduction',-2],
        ['abductions',-2],
        ['abuse',-3],
        ['abused',-3],
        ...
    ]

## Notes

-   The list is an earlier version of [AFINN-111][afinn].
-   The list contains duplicated words.
-   The list includes misspelled words. Their presence is intentional, as such misspellings frequently occur in social media content.
-   All words are lowercase.
-   Some "words" are phrases; e.g., `cashing in`, `cool stuff`.
-   Words may contain apostrophes; e.g., `can't stand`.
-   Words may contain dashes; e.g., `cover-up`, `made-up`.

<!-- TODO: more creative example; possibly counting the number of negative words per sentence in two pieces of text. -->

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var afinn96 = require( '@stdlib/datasets-afinn-96' );

var words;
var dict;
var len;
var i;

words = afinn96();

// Convert to a dictionary...
len = words.length;
dict = {};
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
    dict[ words[i][0] ] = words[i][1];
}
console.dir( dict );
```
