- Uses of corpus methodologies in real-world contexts

Stream C: Discourse, History and Society:

- The uses of corpora in discourse analysis
- Corpus approaches to the study of new media

Stream D: Language Learning and Teaching:

- Corpora in second language acquisition studies
- Direct uses of corpus resources or techniques in language learning contexts
- Development of learning and teaching materials

For the general programme, we invite contributions on a broad and inclusive
basis.

There are 3 categories of proposals.In addition to the full proposal, a short
summary abstract (up to 100 words) is required for each submission.

Full paper: A 20-minute talk followed by 10 minutes for questions and
discussion. Submissions should present either complete research, or research
in progress where at least some substantial results have been achieved. Work
in progress which has yet to produce results can instead be submitted as a
poster abstract. We request extended abstracts (750-1500 words, excluding the
word count for references). The extended abstracts will be published
electronically shortly in advance of the conference.

Posters: Can present either results of completed research or work in progress.
Abstracts should be 250-500 words, excluding the word count for references. We
especially welcome poster abstracts that (a) report on innovative research
that is in its earliest phases, or (b) report on new software or corpus data
resources.

Panels: Offer an opportunity to group related papers together to allow
extended discussions. Abstracts of 1500 words (excluding the word count for
references) are to be submitted on behalf of all speakers, with an
introduction specifying the relationship between the topics before details on
individual presentations (including names and affiliations of all speakers)
are given. Abstracts are to be submitted by the panel convenor(s). Panels will
be allocated 1 hour 40 minutes.

To submit a proposal, please go to:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cl2017 .

At your first visit, register for the conference proposal system, and
thereafter you can access the site with your user name and password.
Individuals can submit more than one proposal but will be limited to two
acceptances. Proposals can be entered on the system at any time before the
deadline, but the proposal remains open for editing until the deadline of 2
January 2017.

For the pre-conference workshop day, propose either a half-day or a full-day
event. Proposals should be 1500 words for a half-day or 3000 words for a
full-day, excluding word count for references. They should also provide
details on whether the workshop needs a computer lab or any other technical
requirements. Pre-conference proposals should be sent directly to Dr Nicholas
Groom via the conference email account: cl2017 at contacts.bham.ac.uk, with a
subject line that begins: [cl2017-pcw].
