E-mail this message to a friend Dear Linguist-Listers,
The Nottingham Corpus of German YouTube Language (Nottinghamer Korpus Deutscher YouTube-Sprache or NottDeuYTSch) is now available for analysis in a variety of formats, including tsv, R object, JSON, SketchEngine and CorpusExplorer.
https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/xmlui/handle/11372/LRT-4806 The NottDeuYTSch corpus contains over 33 million words taken from approximately 3 million YouTube comments from videos published between 2008 to 2018 targeted at a young, German-speaking demographic and represents an authentic language snapshot of young German speakers. The corpus was proportionally sampled based on video category and year from a database of 112 popular German-speaking YouTube channels in the DACH region for optimal representativeness and balance and contains a considerable amount of associated metadata for each comment that enable further longitudinal cross-sectional analyses.
If you have any questions or queries about the corpus, please feel free to email me at cotgrove

Kind Regards
