Meeting Description:

The Spanish Association for Corpus Linguistics (AELINCO) and the organizing committee of this edition are pleased to invite you to the 16th International Conference on Corpus Linguistics (CILC2025), which will take place at the Faculty of Philology of the University of Salamanca from 15 to 17 May 2025. The conference is organized by members of the DING (English Dialectology and the History of the English Language) and LINDES (Linguistic Descriptions of English) research groups, whose major areas of specialization include diachronic and synchronic corpus-assisted studies with tools such as the Salamanca Corpus and the MIAMUL Corpus.

This edition of the conference focuses on the study of meaning in representative linguistic corpora from different periods, registers and genres. As it is well known, meaning is a central concern of corpus linguistics, since its study is essential for understanding how language works and how people use it to communicate, while at the same time it poses great methodological challenges for its detection and analysis.

We invite proposals that address the production and analysis of meaning in any of its facets through specialized tools, as well as from complementary approaches and methodologies within the framework of the nine thematic panels of the conference, including mixed methods of analysis. Proposals that deal with other topics related to the areas covered by the nine thematic panels are also welcome.
