<DIV>On Saturday 5 November 2011 we will have the first event in the 'Corpus linguistics in the south' series. This will be a fairly informal discussion day on the theme of 'Theoretical-methodological challenges in corpus approaches to discourse studies'. Each talk will last about 30 minutes and then lead in to 15 minutes open discussion time and we will also end the day with an open discussion. More information is available from the <A href="http://www.port.ac.uk/cls">www.port.ac.uk/cls</A> and I have copied the programme below. </DIV>
