It indicates different uses and perceptions between genders but does not
include the specific kinds of language their users articulate compared to other
electronic forms of communication, such as e-mail

The study was conducted using two methods of instrumentation. For a two
week period, posts were collected off of three popular SNWs (Twitter,
Facebook, and Instagram) from 16 heavily active
users (Male subjects A-H, Female subjects A-H) that were selected by
randomization. With
this data, key words and language that inhibit gender roles and gender
-marked attitudes on these posts were analyzed
. If a selected user regularly updates more than one of the chosen SNWs, their
data from all of the websites these individuals post on were used
. For example, Female Subject A is a popular user of Twitter, Instagram, and
Facebook, and her posts for these two weeks will be taken from all three of the
websites.
There are two things that are interesting to note about the study. First, while
we know that the majority of the ages of the users fall in between 16-21
(Cardon56), Male Subjects D/G are well into their adulthood and will be used
to compare the language of interest as a measure of how gender roles evolve
with age. Also, a final website, MySpace, an older SNW,is vital to take into
account because it can be used as a measuring stick of how social media has
evolved over the last five years. Therefore, a male and female (subjects I and
J) were also chosen for retrospective research from a previously popular SNW.
How Old Do You Think I Am?: A
Study of Language and Age in
Twitter
This article explore the conecction between language and age based on Twitter

This article explores the limitation of 140 characters of the social network Twitter in
comparison with text messages 160 characters. The research identifies linguistic features
of such messages.
The group study were 43 participants. From each participants' ten most recent messages
was collected, to complete a data set of 430 messages. Participants were select by random,

text messaging, and to a lesser extent instant


messaging, with the new micro-blogging service Twitter, which allows
users to post short messages of 140 characters to a public timeline for
others to read. The study identifies a number of linguistic features of
Twitter messages, and, by way of a comparison with the results of a
previous study into text messaging and instant messaging (Ling and
Baron, 2007), explores the extent to which character limitation may have
an influence on the linguistic features of such media. Several
instances of linguistic innovation that appear to be unique to messages
posted on Twitter are also identified. The study concludes that character
limitation may indeed be influential in producing linguistic innovation in
short messaging, but acknowledges that certain contradicting elements of
evidence means caution is advised when making any definitive claims on
the matter. Finally, the study also concludes that there are a number of
apparently innovative elements of language use within Twitter messages,
but that other linguistic features position the medium closer to
traditional, standard written language than the more colloquial forms
seen in text messaging and instant messaging
