</div>
<div>Corpus Linguistics Fest (CLiF) is a one-week summer school featuring three courses in corpus linguistics, combined with a final day of presentations. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Corpus Linguistics Fest (CLiF) at Indiana University will be a week-long effort to provide a space for linguists, psycholinguists, computational linguists, and anyone else wishing to explore the use of corpus data and to understand the methodologies
and practices of Corpus Linguistics. In addition to the presentations on Friday, participants will have chances to develop skills in theoretical and practical sessions Monday-Thursday through courses on:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Statistical methods for corpora (using R) (Amir Zeldes)</div>
<div>* Tools for annotating and searching corpora (Stefanie Dipper)</div>
<div>* Learner corpora and Second Language Acquisition research (Anke Lüdeling)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With the relaxed environment of the fest, the small collegiate town (Bloomington, IN), and the friendly discussions covering a range of expertise, students and researchers are sure to have a stimulating week.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
