I think you should go for tidytext : https://github.com/juliasilge/tidytext. You'll get access to four sentiment dictionaries :

  • affin
  • bing
  • nrc
  • loughran

You can get a list of all the available sentiments here with get_sentiments("AFINN") / get_sentiments("loughran")...

Here's a description of how to perform sentiment the analysis in R : http://tidytextmining.com/sentiment.html

This package is not only for sentiment analysis but for text mining, the tidy way. Worth taking some time to learn and use it.
