Da-Chen Lian, Shu-Kai Hsieh

This study aims to fill the gap by constructing a topic-aware comparable corpus of Mainland Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin from the social media in Mainland China and Taiwan, respectively. Using Dcard for Taiwanese Mandarin and Sina Weibo for Mainland Chinese, we create a comparable corpus that updates regularly and reflects modern language use on social media.
