Abstract

This article describes the sud4science project (www.sud4science.org). Firstly, the authors present the acquisition phase of both SMS data and questionnaire data. Secondly, they explain anonymisation techniques, transcoding and optional annotation phases. Finally, they propose preliminary (socio-) linguistic analyses of scriptural usage of SMS writing, and they also indicate those that are planned in the foreseeable future.
