Please circulate the following flier on the ICAME'91 Open Day to anyone
who may wish to attend. The principles apply to Corpora of other languages,
not just English, so linguists working on other languages might well be
interested as well; I realise that not many people are likely to
travel overseas just for a one-day gathering, but perhaps the Open Day
might be of interest to anyone who plans to be in England at the time on
other business.

 Thursday May 9th 1991, Craiglands Hotel, Ilkley, Yorkshire


The International Computer Archive of Modern English (ICAME) annual
conference is the principal meeting place for linguists and computer
scientists using English language Corpora in their research. Recently
there has been a surge of interest in Corpus-based research in the wider
speech and language technology community. For the benefit of this wider
community, the 12th ICAME Conference will include an Open Day, when
leading ICAME researchers will give overviews of the stages in the
"Corpus life cycle":

 10.30 Arrival and registration
 11.00 An Overview of ICAME
 (Stig Johansson, Oslo University, ICAME Committee Chairman)
 11.30 Corpus Collection (Antoinette Renouf, Birmingham University)
 12.00 Corpus Annotation (Sidney Greenbaum, University College London)
 12.30 Corpus-based Parsing (Eric Atwell, Leeds University)
 1.00 Lunch
 2.00 Tools for Using Corpora (Jan Aarts, Nijmegen University)
 2.30 Corpora for Lexicography and English Language Teaching

All are welcome to attend this Open Day; in addition to seeing the above
presentations, Open Day participants will be able to meet other ICAME'91
conference delegates to discuss specialist needs, applications, etc. The
conference language will be English. The Craiglands Hotel, Cowpasture
Road, Ilkley (0943 607676) is c5 minutes walk from the station, and is on

Leeds and Ilkley, has regular flights to several UK and European cities.
