Dong Nguyen, Barbara McGillivray and Taha Yasseri recently published an article comparing Urban Dictionary and the English-speaking Wiktionary, which was popularized in an article in the MIT Technology Review. They note in particular that the vocabulary covered by these two collaborative dictionaries has relatively few terms in common and that the Urban Dictionary seems to have a fairly exhaustive coverage of slang, and thus better reflects the dynamism of the language. They hope to open up a new field of research around these objects on which more and more scientific articles are published.
