Call for Participation: Corpus Linguistics Fest (CLiF)

June 6-10, 2016
Indiana University - Bloomington, IN, USA
http://cl.indiana.edu/clif16/

The Fest

Corpus Linguistics has become important in Linguistics, not only as a
methodology, but also as a theory. Corpus Linguistic methods are often used
for exploring linguistic patterns, yet the techniques and methodologies may
not be very intuitive for linguists or at odds with the type of research done
in some parts of the field.  The Corpus Linguistics Fest (CLiF) at Indiana
University will be a week-long event 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.  With theoretical and practical sessions Monday-Thursday,
participants will have chances to develop skills through courses on:

- Statistical methods for corpora (using R)
- Tools for annotating and searching corpora
- Learner corpora and Second Language Acquisition research

For more information about the courses, see
http://cl.indiana.edu/clif16/courses.html.

In addition, the Friday of CLiF will feature workshop-style (refereed)
presentations targeted at younger researchers. Papers based on these
presentations will be published in online proceedings (see
http://cl.indiana.edu/clif16/callforpapers.html). The deadline for submission
is April 15, 2016.

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.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
