- | The data were collected in two stages. A first collection took place Nov 2009 - Feb 2010. Because this collection did not produce enough SMS for research in Italian and Romansh, a second collection took place between May and July 2011 and produced SMS mainly in those two languages. The two collections are now fully integrated and appear as one single corpus. In your everyday work with the corpus, you will not know whether a specific SMS was collected in the first or in the second round.

- | Encouraged by articles in the Swiss press, the informants sent some or all of the SMS they wrote during this time to a designated Swisscom number. Some informants just forwarded some or even every SMS they wrote, others seem to have added the Swisscom number as a default number to be added to every SMS. Two specific numbers were offered, one for the German and one for the Latin parts of Switzerland in the first call and one for the Italian and Romansh part respectively in the second call. However, these differentiations between regions was only used to communicate with the participants (i.e. to send the link to the [[02_questionnaire:start|questionnaire]]) in the appropriate language. They have no importance for the corpus whatsoever, because the language tagging that was performed later on improved upon a differentiation between languages that might have been deduced from these telephone-numbers. | + | Encouraged by articles in the Swiss press, the informants sent some or all of the SMS they wrote during this time to a designated Swisscom number.
