Subject: Online IM/Chat Corpora
Hello!Does anyone know of a corpus or corpora consisting mainly of online chat orIM? I'm doing a project on the formulaicity of online speech, so I'mlooking for synchronous (not blogs/e-mail) online communication. I'velooked through the LL corpus list, as well as the offerings of the LDC, buthaven't found anything like this.
Thank you!Matt GarleyGraduate Student, Linguisticsmgarley2uiuc.edu

Subject: Language Acquisition
We're planning a project about language diffusion in South Tyrol, focusingon 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 tyroleandialect(s)) embody some communication situations [we looked at Americanbumper stickers's potential].
Has anyone already done something similar? And could you please give mesome bibliographical references about this topic (in part. about the roleof collocations/visual stimuli in language acquisition)?Many thanks in advanceChiara Vettori
