Meeting Description:
Corpora - principled collections of data in electronic format - have emerged
over the last decades as a powerful analytical tool both in applied and
theoretical linguistics. They have turned out of particularly significant
importance in studies on language variation and language varieties. Indeed, the
wealth and amount of data made available through corpus compilation and query
tools have increasingly enabled researchers to explore differences across spoken
and written discourse, social, diachronic and geographic varieties, age groups,
gender, idiolects, etc. The widening of studies on language variation and
language varieties, however, still calls for discussion on significant
methodological issues, which pose, among others, the following questions: What
are the major methodological problems in the research field? What is the role of
the comparative perspective? Which tools and methodology best suit research?
The conference intends to focus on such issues in order to provide a better
definition of the concepts under investigation and bring together significant
and innovative contributions in what is now understood as a widely researched
area, thus presenting new tools and perspectives to be investigated. This is
also the main general objective of the CLAVIER research group (Corpus and
Language Variation Research Group), a research centre recently founded by the
Universities of Bergamo, Firenze, Modena and Reggio Emilia, Roma 'La Sapienza',
and Siena, and currently based in Modena. The point of departure is the
invaluable contribution of two complementary strands of linguistic investigation
- corpus analysis and discourse analysis - to research on language variation in
English, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
One of the purposes of the 2009 CLAVIER conference is to reinforce national and
international cooperation with scholars and research centres that can widen and
complement the interest in language variation currently driving research at the
centre.
