Meeting Description:

(Session of ABRALIN50)

Corpus/Computational Linguistics has been continuously growing as a result of
its possibility to support any field in Linguistics that cares for the study
of authentic production and usage data.  The area, thus, develops corpora
compilation methodologies, tools for their study that range from form listing
up to multiple level annotation and  metrics for the study of diverse
linguistic phenomena. The available corpora, as well as those under current
compilation, allow for the study of both spoken and written language.
Additionally, corpora serve the purpose of studying the development of
specific languages, interlinguistic comparison, and more traditional
linguistic areas such as phonology, pragmatics, semantics, syntax and
sociolinguistics. Furthermore, corpora are the basis for the development of
computational linguistics tools, besides serving as data for multidisciplinary
studies such as those in the growing field known as Big Data studies.

The Special Session “Advances in Corpus and Computational Linguistics” is
dedicated to the presentation of already available corpora and those under
compilation, as well as computational tools for corpora study. This proposal
is justified given the diversity found in the area in present-day Brazilian
Linguistics, covering among others:  the study of first and second language
acquisition, the study of specific language varieties, translation studies, as
well as methodological studies covering new technologies that foster corpora
compilation and analysis.
