Description
I am trying to sort out where the text/xx/xx-sentiment.xml data come from. The unit tests include some proof of utility but I cannot find any documentation of the methodology used. After a lot of searching my best guess is that these are from De Smedt, Tom, and Walter Daelemans. "Vreselijk mooi!" (terribly beautiful): A Subjectivity Lexicon for Dutch Adjectives. LREC. 2012.
SentiWordNet is clearly called out in the docs. It would be nice to source the custom lexicon that ships with the package.

Research direction
Start with text/xx/xx-sentiment.xml and the unit tests in test/test_en.py around line 913. Check the cited De Smedt and Daelemans paper and the existing SentiWordNet documentation to establish the custom lexicon's source and methodology. Done means documenting the lexicon's provenance and method in the project documentation.
