<p class=MsoNormal>Dear all,<br>
<br>
The <i>Centre for English Corpus Linguistics</i> of the University of Louvain
(Belgium) is launching a new international learner corpus initiative, the <b>LONGDALE
</b>project. The aim of the project is to build a large <b>longitudinal</b>
database of learner English containing data from learners from a wide range of
mother tongue backgrounds.The term ‘database' rather than ‘corpus'
is used here as our aim is to collect a wide range of data types, from fairly
uncontrolled data such as argumentative essays, narratives or informal
interviews to more guided types in the form of summaries or picture
descriptions. <br>
<br>
If you are interested in joining this new venture and contributing to LONGDALE,
do get in touch with me or one of the LONGDALE team members.<br>
