Meeting Description:

As part of AELINCO's on-going programme of research activities and annual
conferences, the broad aim of the CILC conferences is to provide language
researchers an opportunity to present and communicate their work from a
variety of corpus analysis perspectives, that is to say any research which
attempts to account for attested language phenomena on the basis of empirical
textual data. For CILC17, it has been decided that particular attention will
be paid to phraseological units in specialised corpora (whether monolingual or
multilingual). The assumption which underpins this topic is Sinclair's (1991)
''Idiom Principle'', according to which language is made up of largely
pre-fabricated elements which can most usefully be identified in text corpora
through the use of statistical techniques. From this point of view,
''Language'' is seen primarily as a textual phenomenon, and as such is studied
in terms of lexical co- occurrence, collocation, semantic preference,
colligation, semantic prosody, and so on. More generally these terms can all
be related to ''Phraseology'', understood here as the regular patterns of
language which underlie all types of discourse. The particular aim of CILC17
is thus to examine the means by which corpus linguistics attempts to detect
and analyse these kinds of units, with the ultimate aim of better
understanding how they function in discourse and the language system, as well
as to examine how phraseological units can be useful to related disciplines,
notably terminology, second and foreign- language learning, languages for
specific purposes, lexicography, specialised or pragmatic translation.

As well as the general conference theme, the conference committee invites
contributions relating to the following 9 specific topics:

1. Corpus design, construction and typology
2. Corpus-based discourse analysis and literary analysis
3. Grammatical studies and corpora
4. Corpus-based lexicology and lexicography
5. Corpora, contrastive studies and translation
6. Corpus-based variation and language change
7. Corpus-based computational linguistics
8. Corpora, language acquisition and language teaching
9. Corpus linguistics and languages for specific purposes*****
