Meeting Description:

Corpus Linguistics beyond Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Applications
A one-day Symposium

Friday 10 July 2015, University of Nottingham (UK)

Plenary speaker: Paul Baker (Lancaster University)

Recent research in corpus linguistics is pushing the boundaries of the discipline towards more and more interdisciplinary applications. Although used originally by linguists alone, CL methods are now being embraced by researchers working in an ever-widening range of academic disciplines. Spurred on by growing recognition of the utility of such methods for providing unprecedented and unpredictable insights into how language is used in the real world, students and established scholars alike are now adopting CL approaches to answer questions in an array of subjects, including the social sciences, literary studies, education, psychology, translation studies, the health sciences, and many, many more.

The ''Corpus Linguistics beyond Boundaries'' symposium will follow the ''University of Nottingham Summer School in Corpus Linguistics: Tools and Applications'' (7-9 July 2015, see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/cral/research-groups/clw/summer-school.aspx). Attendees are encouraged but not obliged to attend both events.

2nd Call for Papers:

Extended deadline: 17 May 2015

This one-day symposium accords with this burgeoning enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research and aims to showcase innovative applications of corpus linguistics beyond its traditional boundaries. Papers are invited for this symposium. We are particularly looking for contributions that (i) embrace interdisciplinarity and (ii) illustrate such interactions through specific analysis.

We welcome abstracts of up to 300 words for 20 minute presentations, sent to cral at nottingham.ac.uk by the 17 May. Please submit your abstract as a Word attachment and include also 5 keywords, your name, affiliation, academic title, email address, and a short biography. Postgraduate and early-career researchers are especially encouraged to participate. Those who would like to attend the symposium without presenting a paper are very welcome to do so and should confirm their attendance by email to cral at nottingham.ac.uk.
