Description:

YouTube comment threads provide a rich source of authentic, multilingual language data, including languages and varieties that are often underrepresented in traditional corpora. This one-hour workshop introduces practical approaches for collecting and working with YouTube comments for language research and teaching, with a focus on non-English and multilingual data.

Participants will learn how to identify relevant video content, use the Communalytic web tool to download comment threads, and transform multilingual data into resources such as vocabulary lists, interactive AI-based learning tools, and small-scale corpora. The workshop will also demonstrate how YouTube comment data can support discourse analysis, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis across languages, drawing on concrete example use cases. No prior experience with Communalytic is required; the session is designed for graduate students and instructors interested in working with real-world multilingual language data.

*Participants are encouraged to bring their own computer devices to follow along; however, it is optional.
