@jessgrieser All sessions have your session's chat... It got me to hop in to give the session a look!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@ShappLing @itamark ...the base functionality isn't reliably there... you might be asking a bit much! :P

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@GretchenAMcC @rctatman @stefanwould We do have :)))) and the like! Impressionistically (but haven't checked data to confirm on this one), it seems like it's more common in replies compared to in other tweets

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@mayhplumb Koi (fish), but also not very "traditional"...

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@GretchenAMcC @mandersmcphee @ShappLingNYU Also, a fun false hit in the Northern France data: <veuch> (actually just verlan for "cheveux")

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@GretchenAMcC @mandersmcphee @ShappLingNYU I'm also more oui+oauin than oui+ouais for casual sincere agreement, though the "ch(e)" seems much rarer here either way (matching speech!)

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@GretchenAMcC @mandersmcphee @ShappLingNYU Oh cool -- I definitely don't have laxing for it!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@GretchenAMcC @mandersmcphee @ShappLingNYU We've got "ouichhhhh"-type stuff yeah, but it's rare in the Laurentian French corpus (and very often just "h")

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@basil3r @RuthMaddeaux @Derek_Denis Pre-Prep (ton exemple), post-verbal ("Je t'aime full"). No pre-main V (yet). Fun hits: "t'es full drugs", "full de céréale"

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@basil3r @RuthMaddeaux @Derek_Denis Fr. Twitter: pre-DP (sg. and pl.). pre-NP (ex. "une full art"), pre-nom. and post-nom. adj. ("un compte pas full"), pre-adj ("full beau")

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@Derek_Denis @RuthMaddeaux @basil3r Being a little all over lines up with it being a non-standard holdover! Plus -ly adverbing still isn't 100%, full(y)'s a logical intensifier

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@Derek_Denis @RuthMaddeaux @basil3r It's definitely used, yes!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@RuthMaddeaux @Derek_Denis @basil3r I originally figured it was a recent borrowing+innovation in French, but now I suspect it might've been preserved -- maybe in Irish English?

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@CulturalEmissar not yet, but I'll have to give it a look!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@Vilinthril @NoraGoldman @GretchenAMcC We've got the data, looking forward to seeing how it compares!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@NoraGoldman @GretchenAMcC Yeah -- it was amazing to see just how consistent people are with it!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@tinymattresses @AllThingsLing You made me think of "aisle", which seems similar-ish. 3689 tokens in 12M-tweet corpus, no "aaaaisle(s)"! :)

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@tinymattresses @AllThingsLing Probably a digraph, but great thought! No luck in 4 mil. or 12 mil. tweet corpora for "oedipal" / "oe..." wds

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@jacobeisenstein @rctatman @GretchenAMcC suggestions are welcome!

[Jeffrey Lamontagne @LamontagneJr]

@jacobeisenstein @rctatman @GretchenAMcC We wanted to look at lexical blocking directly, but don't have a great scaling way to tell the word
