    CORPUS LINGUISTICS 2003

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

    FIRST 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 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
    1st 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 1st
    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.
