    CORPUS LINGUISTICS 2003

    Lancaster University (UK), 28 March - 1 April 2003

    SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOPS

    Corpus Linguistics 2003 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.

    The conference will include invited talks from: Nicoletta Calzolari - Corpora and the lexicon Michael Hoey - topic TBA Susan Hunston - topic TBA Nancy Ide - Everything you wanted to know about the American National Corpus ... but were afraid to ask

    The aims of Corpus Linguistics 2003 are:

    1. to encourage dialogue between those working on similar issues in different languages and between areas with a (perhaps as yet untapped) potential to interact.

    2. to encourage dialogue between researchers using corpora in linguistics and those using corpora in language engineering. For the main conference, papers of ca. 20 minutes are invited on topics such as:

    corpus-based studies of any language level in any language contrastive corpus linguistics computer-aided studies of style corpus- or text-based lexicography corpus/text building, encoding and annotation development of corpus-based language engineering tools applications of computer-aided text analysis in non-linguistic fields (market research, advertising, media studies, sociology, psychology, etc.)

    Proposals for workshops (half day or full day) are also invited. Topics broadly in line with the theme of the conference will be considered. Workshops will be held on the 27th March. The conference language will be English.

    REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION

    Papers:

    Abstracts of up to one page should be submitted to the Programme Committee by 2nd Dec 2002. As well as an outline of the paper, the abstract should include the authors' names, affiliations, and contact addresses (including e-mail and fax numbers). Electronic submissions are welcome.

    Workshops:

    Abstracts of two pages should be submitted to the Programme Committee by 2nd Dec 2002. The abstract should include the names of the organizers, their contact details, and the projected number of papers to be presented at the workshop. Workshop organizers should also indicate whether they wish to generate a set of proceedings for their workshop.

    Those proposing a software demonstration should additionally indicate in detail what (if any) hardware and software requirements they have.

    Proceedings

    Proceedings will be produced from the conference. The proceedings will be available to participants during the conference, and will be available following the conference as a UCREL technical paper. Selected papers will appear in an edited collection to be published.
