Meeting Description:

The 16th Corpus Linguistics in the South (CLS) event will take place on 3rd
March, 2018, at the University of Sussex, with the theme ‘Quantifying Concepts
in Corpus Linguistics’.


Call for Papers:

Corpus approaches to meaning have often operated at the level of the word. For
example, early corpus linguistic research examined the meanings of words, via
frequencies of co-occurring words. What happens when researchers shift the
focus from the word to the concept? How do we operationalise concepts? How do
we quantify concepts? How do we compare conceptual content between two
datasets?

We welcome papers that approach the notion of quantification and concepts in a
wide variety of ways. Concepts might include any level of linguistic meaning
or combination of levels, i.e.: semantic, pragmatic, discursive,
socio-cultural, grammatical, or other. Quantitative approach to concepts goes
beyond focussing on frequency counts and encompasses all stages of
operationalising concepts in corpus linguistics from the working definitions
of concepts to the visualisation of conceptual content.

In the vein of the theme of this CLS meeting there will be a plenary talk from
the Linguistic DNA project by Dr Seth Mehl. The Linguistic DNA team has been
working to map semantics and concepts in large historical data set of Early
English Books Online.

Papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation followed by 10 minutes of
discussion. Papers may present research that is finished or in progress;
methodological or theoretical reflections or discussions; or demonstrations of
tools or resources.

Abstracts of 250 words should be submitted, with title and author(s) names, to
justyna.robinson at sussex.ac.uk by 1 February, 2018.
