Summary/Abstract: During the coronavirus pandemic, crisis management, including the management of social emotions, became an important issue. The sentiment analysis based on the NAWL dictionary presented in the article concerns the posts of Polish parliamentarians posted on Twitter during the first 12 months of the pandemic. It allows to quantify the scope of attention devoted to the pandemic in this social medium in relation to other topics. It also makes it possible to identify significant differences between the sentiment of posts published by parliamentarians in the government camp and the opposition as well as between the posts on the pandemic and on other topics.
