Das Forschungsvorhaben widmete sich dem Schreiben im privaten Bereich. Ziel des Projektes war es die Strategien der Nutzer von Online-Netzwerken aus einer auf die Provinz Südtirol eingeschränkten Perspektive zu beobachten und zu untersuchen, wie "User" neuer Medien mit ihnen relativ informell, schnell und teilweise nahezu simultan schriftlich kommunizieren. In dialektal geprägten Regionen des deutschen Sprachgebietes ist die Verwendung des Dialekts in einem für die Standardsprache reservierten Medium ein auffallender, aber nicht der einzige interessante Aspekt. Die Frage, inwieweit Menschen unterschiedlichen Alters gleichermaßen über das Internet kommunizieren, stellte dabei den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung dar. Anhand von Texten, die im Internet auf Social Network Sites (SNS) entstanden sind, wurde untersucht, wie die deutsche Sprache in ihrer Standard- und dialektalen Variante von Südtiroler Nutzern zu kommunikativen Zwecken in geschriebener Form verwendet wird. Wir untersuchen, welche Besonderheiten sich bei der Sprachverwendung in den Neuen Medien feststellen lassen. Ziel ist es dabei, (a) den aktuellen Sprachgebrauch des Deutschen mittels neuer Medien in Südtirol in einem frei zugänglichen Korpus zu dokumentieren (https://commul.eurac.edu/annis/didi) und (b) auf die Kompetenzen der Schreibenden einzugehen.

The DiDi Corpus

The DiDi corpus has an overall size of around 650.000 Tokens gathered from 136 South Tyrolean Facebook users who participated in the DiDi project. It consists of 11.102 Facebook wall posts, 6.507 wall comments and 22.218 private messages. All messages were written by the participants throughout the year 2013. Please read the fulldescription of the corpus for further details. Please consider also the description of the method of data collection and the full description of the DiDi project and its research questions.

As every participant could offer either his/her private messages, his/her texts on the wall or both, the corpus comprises wall posts and wall comments from 130 profiles and private messages of 56 profiles; 50 participants granted access to both types of data. Free access to the corpus is given to the wall posts and comments. Due to privacy issues the access to the private messages is restricted. Access to the private messages can be given for scientific research only, after signing a non-disclosure agreement. In case you are interested in the data for scientific reasons, please contact the research team.

All texts were anonymised in order to guarantee that the participants' identity cannnot be infered from the texts. The anonymisation included person names, group names, geographical names and adjectival references, institution names, hyperlinks, mail addresses, phone numbers, numbers of bank accounts, servers, postal codes and other private information. Please, read the anonymisation document for the anonymisation keys.

The corpus offers a vast range of research opportunities for linguists that are interested in CMC in general, and more specific in multilingual language use, the use of regional varieties, code switching, code shifting and code mixing phenomena, etc.
