The recent popularization of social media based on microtexts, among which Twitter stands out, has enabled a globalization of the expression of opinions. Although microtexts present some specific lexical and syntactic properties that differ from those of standard text, certain basic aspects of language must be respected so that they are intelligible. In this project, we propose to exploit this fact in order to improve the linguistic support for processing microtexts in our natural sphere of interest: the Spanish and Galician languages. To do so, it will be necessary to improve the performance of current parsing and analysis techniques on standard text, to design mechanisms so that models and methods effective for analyzing standard language can be adapted to microtexts, and to project effective models, methods and resources across languages.
