Abstract
Many companies/corporations are interested in the opinion that users share about them in different social media. Sentiment analysis provides us with a powerful tool to discern the polarity of the opinion about a particular object or service, which makes it an important research field nowadays. In this paper we present a method to perform the sentiment analysis of a sentence through its syntactic analysis, by generating a code in Prolog from the parse tree of the sentence, which is automatically generated using natural language processing tools. This is a preliminary work, which provides encouraging results.
