TweetS Corpus

In the last decade, social media became a part of our daily life. Furthermore, social media illustrates authentic language from wide range of people. Obviously, this diversity turns social media to a very valuable linguistic source. Moreover, unlike many other sources such as newspapers, magazines or  books, social media does not pass through an editorial process.
