Abstract From the recent decade, high degree of attention is drawn over Sentiment Analysis (SA) in which sentiments are collected, investigated and aggregated from the text. The growth of SA has led to the introduction of different subdomains, each handling a diversified degree of investigation or research issue. This review concentrates on the Aspect Level Sentimental Analysis (ALSA), where the objective is to identify and aggregate sentiments or entities specified in the documents or the dimensions of them. An in-depth overview of the existing state-of-the-art methods of SA that portray tremendous growth in estimating the opinion or target which may relate to an entity and its associated sentiment is presented. This review also presents the different ALSA methods that include Frequency-based, Syntax-based, Supervised and Unsupervised machine learning based and Hybrid techniques. It also presents the future scope of research that could be possibly conducted using ALSA in diversified fields during its implementation.
