Shared research goals
Cross-linguistic perspective on•Diversification and pluricentric standardization processes of the world languages English, Spanish and French in post-colonial settings•Transformation of locally anchored vernaculars under the effect of globalization, diasporic usage and computer-mediated communication

Specific research goals
RomWeb:•Selection, stylization and emerging conventions in the choice of linguistic structures•Spatio-temporal dynamics of the online communities•Cross-linguistic modelingCyberCreole:•Orthographic, morphosyntactic and lexical conventions•Authenticity and authentication•Effects of crossing, enregisterment and commodification

The DataThe project is based on (a) web forums organized in (b) large-scale corpora.(a)Why web forums? Easy availability of large-scale datasets; genre characteristics such as conversational structure of threads, (rudimentary) social network features, topic subsections(b) Why a corpus approach? Creating a persistent dataset that is amenable to systematic analysis (moving target problem); most work in the field so far geared toward qualitative analysis/ethnographic datasets or small-scale corpora
