Hi everyone,
a team of English language researchers is in need
of 2,000 words extracts from Singaporean weblogs. The data will be
used to set up a corpus** that will be available
free of charge to bona fide academic
researchers.
You are a native Singaporean and want to give us
permission to collect samples from your online journal? You have
further questions? Then please comment or contact hack2301 @
uni-trier . de (RE: SG Weblog). We most urgently need people
aged 36+ to achieve a balanced age ratio of the
data but all help is appreciated, no matter how
old you are.
We would also be grateful if you could
point out other communities, bulletin boards, etc.
where we could post this request.
Thanking you,
Fran
_______
**examples of corpora would be
the British National Corpus and the
International Corpus of
English.
