IJCL presents a wide range of views on the role of corpus linguistics
in language research, lexicography and natural language processing
(NLP).

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. For information on contributions
