TATE: Text Analysis Tools for English

The goal of TATE is to make text analysis a bit easier. TATE is composed of a few functions for text quantification. It uses external norms of valence, arousal, dominance, concreteness, humor, extremity and emotionality. Each function takes a string as input, executes lemmatization of the string and returns a value.
