Deadline for abstracts: December 01, 2000
Description:
Corpus Linguistics 2001 will be a forum for all concerned with the computer-assisted empirical analysis of natural
language. Our definition of 'corpus' is broad, and we therefore welcome those working on substantial literary texts or
other kinds of text collection as well as more 'traditional' corpus linguists.
Similarly, we wish to encourage further cross-fertilization between work occurring in language engineering (e.g. information extraction, parsing) and linguistics. We believe that corpus linguists should be aware of the latest developments in language processing. We also believe that language engineers should be aware of the findings and needs of corpus linguists.
Speakers: Prof. Douglas Biber - TBA, Prof. Jennifer Thomas - "Negotiating meaning: a pragmatic analysis of indirectness in political interviews", Prof. Geoffrey Sampson - "Thoughts on Twenty Years of Drawing Trees", Prof. Mick Short - "Style in Fiction and Non-fiction: A Corpus-based approach to Speech, Thought and Writing, Presentation"
