The purpose of the symposium is to bring together individuals in North America and elsewhere doing research in corpus linguistics. Appropriate topics for presentations include (but are not limited to):

• the use of corpora in language learning and teaching
• linguistic analyses of corpora
• corpus creation
• corpus annotation
• parallel corpora
• lexicography
• register/genre variation
• tagging/parsing
• concordancing
• 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 work in progress. Posters are especially effective for presenting data visually (in charts, graphs, or tables). Narrative discussion is best presented in bullet format. A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters. Upon acceptance, presenters will receive guidelines for their posters.

For a Poster or a Paper, send a copy of an abstract, no more than 250 words long, typed on a single page. On a separate page, place the submitter's name, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation.

Colloquium Proposals are invited for 1 ½ hour blocks. Colloquium organizers may divide their time as they choose, but time should be allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, discussants (if included) and extended audience response. Colloquium organizers serve as the liaison between participants in their colloquium and the Site Committee, and are responsible for communication among these participants. A colloquium proposal should include the following:

One copy of a single page statement from the organizer explaining the theme of the colloquium, how the individual presentations relate to one another, and how the time will be allocated. Include organizer's name, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation in the upper left-hand corner.

One copy of a 250 word abstract typed on a single page for each individual presentation. In the upper left-hand corner place the presenter's name, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation.

Submission of abstracts can be done by mailing in the information, or by sending as a Word attachment via e-mail (see addresses below).
