IJCL seeks to publish research that views language as a social phenomenon that can be investigated empirically on the basis of authentic spoken and written texts. Corpus linguistics specifies corpus design in respect to research interests, provides computational methods of extracting linguistic knowledge, and conceives tools to validate the accuracy of linguistic description. IJCL will discuss these aspects. IJCL aims to conciliate the expectations of language industry with the goals of academic research. Corpora are the basic resources in language engineering. It is the linguistic knowledge extracted from corpora that determines the perfomrance on any NLP application. IJCL is a forum to exchange and share expertise, visions as well as information on resources and tools. IJCL invites relevant contributions.
