Meeting Description:
Large corpora are already a fact in syntax, semantics and pragmatics. But, what aboutargumentation? Can we use (large) corpora in argumentative analysis? Can we use (large)corpora for argumentative analysis?
This panel wants to address some epistemological and methodological dilemmas related tothese questions.
Arguing from Large Corpora: Some Epistemological and Methodological Dilemmas
Panel prepared for the 10th International Pragmatics Conference (Gothenburg, Sweden, 9-14 July, 2007)
Large corpora are already a fact in syntax, semantics and pragmatics. But, what aboutargumentation? Can we use (large) corpora in argumentative analysis? Can we use (large)corpora for argumentative analysis?
This panel wants to address (and sometimes re-address) the following questions/problems/dilemmas: can/may corpora be read as plain texts? Or is there a difference? And if there is adifference, what is the most appropriate tool for analyzing corpora? Is there an appropriatetool for analyzing corpora at all? Or do we have to (re)invent and (re)construct these toolsall the time?
How can we identify topics in large corpora if they are NOT to be read as plain texts? Howcan we determine what (topic) is important and what (topic) is not? And last - but not least,of course - can we argue from such large corpora? How can we detect and mark offarguments within large corpora? Can the whole corpora serve/be used as arguments? Andwhat is the value (let alone validity) of such argument(ation)s?
Contributions from all fields of language and language-related studies are welcomed.If you are interested, please send an abstract by September 1st to the following address:igor.zagarguest.arnes.siWWW: www.igorzagar.net
