Qs: Online Chatroom Data

Editor for this issue: Naomi Fox <foxlinguistlist.org>

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

Subject: voice-based chatroom data

Dear all,

I wonder if there's any linguistic research based on the linguistic data
collected from the online voice-based chatrooms. Can the data so collected
be regarded as kind of natural language? pseudo-natural language? How can
the data be used in the study of SLA? Thanks for your suggestions in
advance.

Best regards,
Fredric
