                     Call for Participation


                    GRAMMAR AND CORPORA 2009
                  3rd International Conference

                      22-24 September 2009
             IDS (Institute for the German Language)
                        Mannheim, Germany
        ------------------------------------------------



CONFERENCE SCOPE:
(1) Corpus-based grammar research in Germanic, Romance, and
    Slavic languages
(2) Theoretical and methodological issues in corpus-linguistic
    grammar research

A look at corpus-based grammar research in German, English or the
Romance and Slavic languages shows that not only are there very
different theoretical stances in these various traditions but also
different empirical focal points of research. The conference
organisers feel that this state of affairs should not be seen as an
obstacle but as the starting point for fruitful trans-disciplinary
discussions. The confrontation of philological traditions, empirical
description, theory, computational linguistics and corpus linguistics
provides opportunities to further a critical but constructive
dialogue.

The issues involved will be the focus of several invited keynote
speeches (see below) as well as two sections and a poster session.
The conference languages are English and German.


KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
Douglas Biber (University of Northern Arizona)
Mirjam Fried (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague)
Françoise Gadet (Université Paris X - Nanterre)
Sylviane Granger (Université catholique de Louvain)
Bruno Strecker (IDS Mannheim)

The conference is organised by the Institute for the German Language
in Mannheim (Marek Konopka, Jacqueline Kubczak, and Ulrich H. Waßner)
where a new corpus-based grammar of German focusing on variation is
being prepared, and by the University of Freiburg (Christian Mair).
