# `Text.Sentiment.Backends.Lexicon`
[🔗](https://github.com/kipcole9/text/blob/v0.5.0/lib/sentiment/backends/lexicon.ex#L1)

Default sentiment backend — lexicon-based, multilingual via the
bundled AFINN lexicons.

This module implements the `Text.Sentiment.Backend` behaviour by
wrapping `Text.Sentiment.Lexicon.score/3`, picking the bundled
`Text.Sentiment.Lexicons.AFINN` lexicon that matches the supplied
`:language` option (with fallback to `:en`).

Most callers don't reference this module directly — they go through
`Text.Sentiment.analyze/2` or `label/2`, which dispatch via
`Text.Sentiment.Backend.resolve/1`.
