We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear all,

I wonder if there's any linguistic research based on the linguistic data
collected from the online voice-based chatrooms. Can the data so collected
be regarded as kind of natural language? pseudo-natural language? How can
the data be used in the study of SLA? Thanks for your suggestions in
advance.

Best regards,
Fredric
