The second issue of volume 37 (autumn 2014) of the Nordic Journal of
Linguistics will be a special issue devoted to Corpus Linguistics and the
Nordic Languages, edited by Gisle Andersen and Daniel Hardt. The special issue
is intended to solicit contributions in which corpus data play an important
role.

In the past decades a number of language corpora have been developed for the
empirical study of the Nordic languages. At the same time, the methods and
technology applied in corpus linguistics have developed rapidly, enabling the
use of increasingly refined methods for the compilation and annotation of
corpora and sophisticated analytical tools for the study of language use based
on corpora. Statistical methods such as cluster analysis and regression
analysis may be used to describe more reliably the correlation between the
variables of time and frequency with other sociolinguistic variables.
Association measures are used to account for word co-occurrence (collocation
and collostruction), and measures for keyness and n-gram frequency to describe
variation in and between corpora. As regards corpus metadata, more
sophisticated annotation schemes that include deep-level syntactic structure
are being developed, and advanced dialect corpora enable the study of
variation between speakers and speaker groups with links between transcribed
speech and audio/video files and geodata. Moreover, the corpus linguistic
landscape has been extended to include not only hand-crafted and manually
edited corpora, but also large web-based corpora that are especially fit for
the study of lexical and other innovation.

There is thus a growing trend in linguistic research of using examples and/or
distributional facts from corpora, and this special issue is intended to
contribute to this trend. We welcome research articles that take a
corpus-linguistic approach to the study of language, investigating historical
or contemporary aspects of any of the languages in the Nordic region (the five
Scandinavian languages, Finnish, Saami and Greenlandic). The research may take
a monolingual or comparative approach to phenomena at any level of linguistic
analysis, based on spoken, written or computer-mediated language. Authors may
address empirical methodologies, novel data, or theoretical matters in any
framework, regarding inter- or intra-individual variation, or changes in
progress, in or among any of the Nordic language varieties. Manuscripts in
standard formats (e.g., .doc or .pdf) should be submitted by 15 January 2014
