In the Social networks corpus, wrong dates have been corrected and non-unique texts removed. The corpus has now become an effective tool for studying the diachrony of linguistic phenomena. Chronology of language items becoming popular or going out of fashion is available (see хайп, превед, уметь во что-л.).
The corpus features a collection of social network texts prepared by the staff and students of Voronezh State University. It includes materials from the Big Voronezh Forum and other local networks in Voronezh, posts by well-known Voronezh bloggers, discussions in local groups on popular platforms VK, Telegram, Livejournal and others. In total, this collection counts about 22.8 million word uses. The texts of the Voronezh collection have more detailed metatextual annotation and cover a large timespan of 2001-2023. In the future, it is planned to include materials from social networks of other Russian regions into the corpus.
