Final Call for Papers

Applying Corpus Linguistics
University of Limerick, Ireland
13th and 14th June 2008
Confirmed Keynote Speakers Include:
Svenja Adolphs
Luke Prodromou
Randi Reppen
Elena Tognini Bonelli
The aim of the conference is to continue the success of the previous three IVACS conferences held at the Universities of Limerick, Belfast and Nottingham in 2002, 2004 and 2006, by exploring ways in which corpus linguistics has been applied to other areas of research and pedagogy. We invite papers that explore how this process has brought new methodological challenges and benefits, as well as papers that report on applied corpus research in any of the following areas:
* Corpus Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (data-driven learning; learner corpora; testing; teacher education; non-native speakers of English/English as an International Language (EIL)/English as a Lingua Franca (ELF); * Corpus Linguistics and Analysing Discourse (using CL in conjunction with other methodologies, e.g. Discourse Analysis, Conversation Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis); using CL to look at language in specific contexts, e.g. Media Discourse, Classroom Discourse, Workplace Discourse, Academic Discourse) * Corpus Linguistics and Literature (including Corpus Stylistics; CL and Translation Studies) * Corpus Linguistics and Forensic Linguistics * Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics * Corpus Linguistics and Speech Technology * Corpus Linguistics and Sociolinguistics
Papers focusing on languages other than English, and non-native varieties of English are particularly welcome.
