When you find out, let me know...

I have to do a sociolinguistics project on an online speech community

I’m thinking of doing it about tumblr.

The only problems I might have are:

  • I have to conduct my own research (which would rely on me being able to talk to other tumblr users)
  • I have to be able to quote other people’s research. 

In all fairness, the first one is much more easily solved than the second. As far as I can tell, no studies have been carried out on tumblr language yet.

Please, please, PLEASE, someone correct me if I’m wrong!
