[Corpora-List] SMS corpus

[Susana Sotillo]

Hi,

I am also in the process of compiling an SMS corpus (in English).  I 
know that there must be a very large Italian corpus of SMS since I 
purchased the TreoDeskTop in order to download all my messages.  
Apparently a lot has been written about the pragmatics of SMS among 
Italian teenagers.  I have downloaded several articles.
