Methodology
Calculation Method
Sentiment score for a great power GP in a year y and corpus C is the logged ratio of the number of positive GP mentions (p) to the number of negative GP mentions (n) in a year made by a party or a media outlet, divided by the ratio of the number of positive sentences to the number of negative sentences in a year made by a party or media outlet.
Neutral Score Interpretation
This score yields zero (neutral), if the ratio of positive to negative sentiments regarding a GP is equal to the overall positive to negative sentiments in a given year, meaning the communication regarding the Great Power did not differ from the overall communication of a party or media outlet.
