Fwd: [Air-l] Databases of ICT texts?

[joshua raclaw]

Hi Ylva,

Would you mind sharing a bit about your research proposal (whether you're
trying to obtain funds to create a corpus, and if so, what mediums of CMC it
would work with, what speaker demographics, etc.)?  I was talking with a few
of my colleagues over the winter break how convenient a tagged corpus of
internet discourse would be, and we were considering the logistics of such an
undertaking - as far as we knew, no such data in English had ever been
compiled.

Thanks!

All best,

Joshua

* Hi all!
*
* Does anyone of you know of databases of tagged CMC (or ICT or whatever
* we call it now...) texts written by children aged, say, 5-18? I'm
* applying for a research grant and need to have a clue whether there are
* similar databases for languages other than Swedish?!
*
* Actually, I'd be grateful to know whether there are any databases of
* ICT texts at all that are tagged and available in any form?!
*
* All the best!
