Rupak K. Sarkar, Sayantan Mahinder, Ashiqur R. KhudaBukhsh · 2020
As the largest institutionalized second language variety of English, Indian English has received a sustained focus from linguists for decades.However, to the best of our knowledge, no prior study has contrasted webexpressions of Indian English in noisy social media with English generated by a social media user base that are predominantly native speakers.In this paper, we address this gap in the literature through conducting a comprehensive analysis considering multiple structural and semantic aspects.In addition, we propose a novel application of language models to perform automatic linguistic quality assessment.
