Abstract:
This project investigates the extent of English use in Finland on the Social Media platform Twitter and characterizes the properties of the variety Finland Twitter English. User messages in a novel, 1m--token corpus of Twitter data from Finland were disambiguated for language and language choice correlated with geographical and demographic factors. English user messages were annotated with part-of-speech tags and the principal lexical and grammatical characteristics of Finland Twitter English, including the relationship between feature frequency and gender, determined by comparing aggregate feature frequencies to those of a similarly processed non-Finland Twitter English corpus, using a statistical measure of association and multidimensional techniques. The lexical and grammatical features most characteristic of Finland Twitter English discourse reflect the primarily interactive communicative orientation of the userbase, which utilizes those language features most closely associated with the technological newness of the communication platform in order to establish and negotiate meaning. ; PhD ; Linguistics Program ; Linguistics ; William Kretzschmar ; William Kretzschmar ; Lewis Howe ; Christopher Eaket
