HANDS-ON WORKSHOP: USING THE LIDES SYSTEM

This conference aims to bring together researchers working in different
contexts with bilingual spoken data (code-switching and other forms of
language contact) in any languages. The focus will be on issues of
transcription, encoding, analysis (especially automated analysis), and
exchange of data among researchers. The conference coincides with the
publication (in June 2000) of the LIDES Coding Manual: A Document for
Preparing and Analysing Language Interaction Data by the The LIPPS Group
(Language Interaction in Plurilingual and Plurilectal Speakers).

There will be a conference fee of 20 pounds which will include lunch.
Limited on-campus accommodation is available. Further information, about
both the LIPPS project and the conference, is posted on the Conference
web site at http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/staff/mark/LIPPS/Announce.htm
where you can also find a registration form. Abstracts of papers will
also be posted there shortly.
