    ICAME-26 / AAACL-6

    May 12-15, 2005

    University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

    Call for Papers

    The 26th annual conference of the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English and the 6th annual conference of the American Association of Applied Corpus Linguistics will be held jointly in Ann Arbor, Michigan from May 12-15, 2004. The purpose of the conference is to bring together individuals in North America and elsewhere doing research in a variety of areas of corpus linguistics, with an aim toward fostering a synergy among the participants and sub-fields normally represented at these two annual meetings.

    The program will include sessions of 20-minute papers, a poster session, and a discussion panel, as well as three invited plenary talks, by Charles Fillmore, Merja Kytö and Jonathan Culpepper, and John Sinclair.

    Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to submit abstracts for 20-minute papers or for posters. The theme for this year's conference is "Real Language, Real People," and we invite papers that focus on the insights that corpus-based studies of real language data provide for linguistic theory, for our understanding of the structure and history of English, and for ESL/ESP teaching and testing. We are also interested in work that refines the systematicity of corpus-based studies, that relates corporist and discoursal approaches, that questions what constitutes a "corpus" and/or "real language," and that addresses the problems of knowing "real speakers" in corpus studies.

    Appropriate topics for presentations include (but are not limited to):

            * diachronic and synchronic analyses of spoken or written corpora

            * the use of corpora in language learning and teaching

            * register/genre variation

            * corpus annotation, tagging, parsing

            * lexicography

            * corpus analysis tools, software development

            

    Submission guidelines

    Individual Papers are 20 minutes long with an additional 10 minutes for discussion.

    Posters are for one-on-one discussion of works in progress, or other research especially suited to visual presentation of data (in charts, graphs, or tables). A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters. Upon acceptance, presenters will receive guidelines for their posters. There will be a prize given for the best student poster.

    All abstracts will undergo anonymous review. In order to limit the number of parallel sessions, there will be a limited number of slots for papers. We encourage participants to consider posters for submissions of works in progress.

    Abstracts should be 200-300 words, plus references, and can be submitted as e-mail attachments, electronic submissions from the conference website, or in hard copy through regular mail (see addresses below). Please specify at the top of the abstract if you would like it considered as a 20-minute paper or as a poster.

    If sending the abstract as an attachment or in hard copy, please include only a title but no author information on the abstract page; on a separate page, include author name, contact information, institutional affiliation, and paper title. Please send abstracts as PDF files if they contain any specialized fonts.

    Deadline for abstract submission: December 15, 2004
