Subject: Large corpus of German YouTube language now available

 
Dear Linguist-Listers,

The Nottingham Corpus of German YouTube Language (Nottinghamer Korpus
Deutscher YouTube-Sprache or NottDeuYTSch) is now available for analysis in a
variety of formats, including tsv, R object, JSON, SketchEngine and
CorpusExplorer.

https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/xmlui/handle/11372/LRT-4806

The NottDeuYTSch corpus contains over 33 million words taken from
approximately 3 million YouTube comments from videos published between 2008 to
2018 targeted at a young, German-speaking demographic and represents an
authentic language snapshot of young German speakers. The corpus was
proportionally sampled based on video category and year from a database of 112
popular German-speaking YouTube channels in the DACH region for optimal
representativeness and balance and contains a considerable amount of
associated metadata for each comment that enable further longitudinal
cross-sectional analyses.

If you have any questions or queries about the corpus, please feel free to
email me at cotgrove at ids-mannheim.de

Kind Regards
