<a href="http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/">UCREL</a> at <b>Lancaster University</b> – one of the world's leading and longest-established centres for corpus-based research – its aim is to support students of language and linguistics in the development of advanced skills

key issues and techniques in cutting-edge corpus research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

as speakers from Lancaster University, external guest speakers who are prominent specialists in their respective areas. The programme includes the following speakers and topics:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
