Abstract

A trilingual Latvian-Russian-English corpus of tweets is presented with an analysis of users, language and topics. The corpus consists of 1.4 million tweets that cover a period from April 2017 to July 2018. The language analysis reveals that the majority of users mostly use one language. Across topics, there is more Latvian content than in the whole collection. Among many potential use cases, the corpus can be used, for example, to study the public engagement of major Latvian media outlets and public figures, or the factors that determine language choice and content of a tweet.
