This paper presents a methodology to semi-automatically build up a dictionary out of an SMS corpus. First, we describe the three-step approach that extracts the dictionary entries from the corpus and we detail the smart manual sorting performed on the dictionary. Then, we give a panorama of SMS phenomena observed in the dictionary. Finally, we survey the current limits of our methodology and the related improvements that can be made to it.
