Code-switching in Irish tweets: a preliminary analysis.
In: Third Celtic Language Technology Workshop 2019, 19 Aug 2019, Dublin, Ireland.
Abstract
As is the case with many languages, research into code-switching in Modern Irish
has, until recently, mainly been focused
on the spoken language. Online usergenerated content (UGC) is less restrictive than traditional written text, allowing
for code-switching, and as such, provides
a new platform for text-based research in
this field of study. This paper reports on
the annotation of (English) code-switching
in a corpus of 1496 Irish tweets and
provides a computational analysis of the
nature of code-switching amongst Irish
speaking Twitter users, with a view to
providing a basis for future linguistic and
socio-linguistic studies.
