Just a quick link here to
an article in The New York Times by Ben Zimmer of
Language Log on the possibilities and pitfalls that Twitter offers for linguistic research. Given that there's been
some grumbling and
general grumpiness of late (from the man who plays Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films) about how Twitter is eroding English (and some
neat counterarguments), it's really fascinating to see what potential this reactively new technology can offer us.
