Abstract
- This paper presents an observational study of lexical propagation across online social networking platforms. By focusing on the highly followed @dog_rates Twitter account, we explore how a popular account's unique style of language propagates outside of the account's immediate follower community within Twitter. Initial results show a strong relationship between the prevalence of this account's language-specific features and the account's followership and popularity. Expanding this research across platforms, we demonstrate consistency in these results outside Twitter, as the @dog_rates vernacular shows a similarly strong relationship between use on Reddit and the account's followership over time.
