    Hi,

    I am also in the process of compiling an SMS corpus (in English). I
    know that there must be a very large Italian corpus of SMS since I
    purchased the TreoDeskTop in order to download all my messages.
    Apparently a lot has been written about the pragmatics of SMS among
    Italian teenagers. I have downloaded several articles.
