This contribution focuses on the process of building a corpus for TikTok discourse. Particularly, it aims at describing the choices made during the construction of a corpus of Italian TikTok videos. The corpus It-tok was collected to individuate linguistic functional correlates of digital discourse on TikTok. It-tok includes two subsets of videos: the first one is centered on videos concerning themes of interest for the public debate (e.g. abortion, femicide, racism, internal politics); the second one is made up of videos with no specific theme, intended to constitute the control sample for the observations made for the first sub-corpus.
