Abstract
This paper describes a strategy to perform lexical normalisation of out- of-vocabulary (OOV) words in Spanish tweets. To correct any ill-formed OOV, the normalisation system generates in-vocabulary (IV) candidates found in several lexical resources, and selects the best one. Our method generates two types of candidates, primary and secondary IV candidates, which will be ranked in different ways to select the best candidate.
