on sexuality has been carried out for more than a decade. This panel aims to
collate recent corpus linguistic research on sexuality to take stock of how
this field has developed and to explore potential future developments. As a
methodology, corpus linguistics has considerably improved our understanding of
how the usage frequency of linguistic features is involved in the discursive construction
of sexuality, be it from a sociolinguistic or a (critical) discourse analytic
perspective. The panel organiser invites paper proposals that build on this
tradition and advance corpus linguistic sexuality studies through theoretical
or methodological considerations based on new corpus analyses. In particular,
work that addresses the following questions will be preferred:</span></div>
