Main conference general program
-----------------------------------------------------------
We invite contributions relating to all aspects of corpus linguistic
research, application, or methods. There are four categories of
proposals (full papers, posters, panels, and pre-conference
workshops). All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the conference
program committee. We ask that presenters submit only two proposals as
first author.


Thematic streams
-----------------------------------
The conference will feature three thematic streams in the general
program. The thematic streams are as follows:
1. Linguistic analyses of corpora as they relate to language use
(e.g., register/genre variation, lexical and grammatical variation,
language varieties, historical change, lexicography)
2. Application (the use of corpora in language teaching and learning,
as well as other applied fields such as testing and legal research)
3. Tools and methods (corpus creation, corpus annotation, tagging and
parsing, corpus analysis software)


Submission categories

Consisting of a 20-minute talk followed by 5 minutes for questions and
discussion. Submissions should present completed research where
substantial results have been achieved. (Work in progress should be
submitted as a poster abstract.) Abstracts should be 300 words
