    Thursday 29th March 2001 (all day)
    Lancaster University, England

    FULL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~jab/CorpusLinguistics2001/cfp.html

    THEMES OF THE WORKSHOP:

    The workshop will accommodate both figurative-language research that is
    centred on corpora and figurative-language research that is centred on
    AI or psychological processing models that make some use of corpora or
    throw light on the use of corpora.

    One focus of the workshop is that of mapping out desiderata for and
    problems with corpora for figurative language research. Here the
    inclusion of different types of researcher --- theoretical linguists,
    applied linguists, computational linguists, cognitive linguists,
    psychologists, etc. -- will bring a valuable mix of different
    perspectives.

    STYLE OF THE WORKSHOP:

    The workshop will occupy a full day. We expect about 10 talks of 30
    minutes including 10 minutes of discussion time each. We will enforce
    the discussion time strictly. The workshop will also include two
    discussion sessions on topics identified as salient during the day. In
    addition, we will allow posters to be set up at the beginning of the day
    as well as software demonstrations, viewable during breaks.

    Papers, posters and software demonstrations will be selected by the
    workshop organizers on the basis of submitted two-page abstracts. A
    proceedings of full papers will be published after the event.

    There will be some space for non-presenting participants. Please contact
    one of the organizers if interested.

    Abstract submission deadline: Monday 19 February 2001
