Call for Papers:

We invite submissions on any topic, whether applied, descriptive or theoretical, which brings together corpus data or corpus linguistic methodology with language learning and teaching, broadly defined. Topics that are within scope for TaLC include, but are not necessarily limited to, corpus-based approaches to any of the following:

- First and second language teaching and learning (including data driven learning materials and student-centred linguistic investigation)
- Language awareness raising
- Teaching languages for specific purposes
- Teaching interpreting and translation
- Teaching culture and history
- Teaching literature
- Teaching inter-cultural communication
- Developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries
- Teacher education
- Research on second language acquisition
- Teaching of corpus methods to students and researchers in linguistics

Paper presentations will consist of a 20 minute talk followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Papers reporting on empirical research should represent either completed work, or work in progress where some results can be reported. Presentations that take the form of a software demonstration are welcome. We request abstracts of 750 words, not counting the reference list, for either type of presentation, formatted according to the stylesheet provided on the conference 
website, and submitted via our online system.

Submissions for poster presentations may be shorter (400-750 words not counting references). Typically, we would suggest submission of a poster abstract, rather than a paper presentation abstract, for: (a) reports on research that is in its very earliest phases with no intermediate or final results to report; (b) reports on new corpus data resources.

We especially encourage submission of abstracts from early-career researchers, including postgraduate research students and postdoctoral researchers.

Call for Workshops:

We invite proposals for pre-conference workshops. Workshops should be oriented towards developing participants' practical skills in some area of corpus construction or analysis relevant to the overall themes of the conference. They should be designed to be 2.5 to 3 hours long, ideally involving some hands-on activities (which may or may not be computer-lab-based, as per your preference, but please specify this!). We anticipate that we will offer four to six workshops in total. 

Proposals for workshops, formatted as you see best and up to 1 page in extent, should be submitted by email to Andrew Hardie at: a.hardie at lancaster.ac.uk 

Workshop proposals are not submitted via the regular online system.

31 October 2013 - Abstract submission opens via conference website
