The politeness Package: Detecting Politeness in Natural Language
Michael Yeomans, Alejandro Kantor and Dustin Tingley , The R Journal (2018) 10:2, pages 489-502.

Abstract This package provides tools to extract politeness markers in English natural language. It also allows researchers to easily visualize and quantify politeness between groups of documents. This package combines and extends prior research on the linguistic markers of politeness (Brown and Levinson, 1987; Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil et al., 2013; Voigt et al., 2017). We demonstrate two applications for detecting politeness in natural language during consequential social interactions— distributive negotiations, and speed dating.
