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: Online IM/Chat Corpora
Hello!
Does anyone know of a corpus or corpora consisting mainly of online chat or
IM? I'm doing a project on the formulaicity of online speech, so I'm
looking for synchronous (not blogs/e-mail) online communication. I've
looked through the LL corpus list, as well as the offerings of the LDC, but
haven't found anything like this.
Thank you!

Subject: Language Acquisition
We're planning a project about language diffusion in South Tyrol, focusing
on collocation acquisition in well-known communication situations.
The basic idea is to turn the town into an *open air school* where drawings
+ collocations in three languages (Italian, German and South tyrolean
dialect(s)) embody some communication situations [we looked at American
bumper stickers's potential].
Has anyone already done something similar? And could you please give me
some bibliographical references about this topic (in part. about the role
of collocations/visual stimuli in language acquisition)?
Many thanks in advance
