Abstract:

>From Twitter to Reddit, Facebook, and WhatsApp – social media is a part of
modern everyday life. Studying the language used on social media platforms
presents great opportunities as well as challenges to corpus linguists. The
contributions in "Corpus Approaches to Social Media" address technical,
ethical, and methodological issues by showcasing in-depth social media studies
as conducted by corpus scholars. The chapters are based on a variety of social
media platforms and include corpus perspectives on the language of online
communities, linguistic variation in short media texts, and the role of images
in computer-mediated communication. A particularly strong point of the
collection are the detailed accounts of the methodological aspects of working
with social media corpora. The volume features research applying traditional
corpus linguistic methods to social media data as well as novel and innovative
research methods for the analysis of multimodal material and atypical corpus
texts.
