The article presents a linguist’s view of TikTok as a “natural” linguistic corpus. The TikTok platform has actually been used as a corpus in a number of linguistic studies, but has not previously been evaluated as a linguistic search tool.
We draw attention to the non-specialized tools of the social network, facilitating the search for linguistic contexts in it and the documentation of the found examples of linguistic phenomena, and the advantages of filling the corpus: (1) semantic search; (2) dating, (3) sorting and (4) filtering by date of search results; (5) ample opportunities for documentation of linguistic phenomena; (6) representativeness of the material of oral and oral-written speech of modern youth; (7) self-sufficiency; (8) multilingualism; (9) representation of metalinguistic reflexives; (10) the possibility of saving search results and links to them; (11) the possibility of analyzing collocation and word connections; (12) the possibility of indirectly assessing the popularity of a linguistic phenomenon; (13) a wide representation of creolized texts; (14) completeness of contexts of use; (15) automated assistance in selecting information useful for the researcher. We emphasize the possibility of using TikTok as a “natural” linguistic corpus in the educational process.
We argue that the natural corpus of TikTok is invaluable for nanodiachronic studies of the newest words, phrasemes and proverbs of the youth sociolect, their semantic research in synchrony, and the study of modern oral and oral-written speech. We state that the specificity of TikTok search results does little to facilitate a rigorous quantitative assessment of large linguistic data, but is convenient for the researcher in terms of compiling a sufficient sample of the linguistic phenomenon of interest.
