Hey guys!
4th year English studies student here.
I'm about to start working on my thesis and I've decided to focus on spelling and punctuation on the "interwebz". It would have been easier to focus on instant-messaging apps, but I would have a very difficult time getting my hands on actual conversations, so this option is pretty much discarded.
Instead, I'm thinking of focusing on something that provides conversation-style material, such as a forum or comments system similar to Youtube's. The point is to have something as close to a conversation as possible.
I have some ideas already, but nevertheless it would be extremely helpful to get some opinions on sources that could be good material for this kind of corpus and analysis.
Thanks in advance!
