Subject: Looking for a social media corpus

 
Dear Sir/Madam,

Hi. This is Kayee, I am in my final year of bachelor's studies in Hong Kong. I am doing my Capstone project in my final year. My research is interested in new usages, new spellings and new words in social media and I' d like to know if there are any social media corpora which I could access.

In my research, I focus on analyzing the phenomenon in 2015, so I need to get access to a social media corpus collected during 2013-2015 to further my research and findings. Can anyone help me with this? Many thanks!

Yours faithfully,
Kayee
