Meeting Description:

Corpora are commonplace nowadays in many areas of linguistic enquiry. The
fourteenth edition of the biennial TaLC (Teaching and Language Corpora)
conference, organised in association with the research network E-GRAPHELES in
2020, aims to provide a platform for sharing current research on applying
corpora in teaching and learning languages. This conference is organised in
two instalments: the first centring on the E-GRAPHELES group (French, Spanish,
Catalan), and the second open to the traditional concerns of the TaLC
community, with English as a working language. The aim is to make Perpignan a
hub of activity for the best applied corpus research currently on offer,
ranging from technical or practical aspects through to theoretical concerns.


Call for Papers:

Academic Programme:

The programme will consist of full papers, pre-conference workshops, poster
sessions, as well as plenary talks. The pre-conference workshops will take
place on Wednesday 15 July, and the main conference will start on Thursday
morning, finishing on Saturday after lunch. The following speakers have agreed
to give plenaries : Maggie Charles (University of Oxford), Mark Davies
(Brigham Young University), Sylvain Detey (Waseda University), François Maniez
(University of Lyon 2), Pascual Pérez-Paredes (University of Cambridge). [The
following speakers will be present at the Baby-TaLC / E-GRAPHELES conference
in May: Mireille Bilger (University of Perpignan), Alex Boulton (University of
Lorraine), Janice Carruthers (Queen's University Belfast), Françoise Olmo
Cazvieille (Polytechnic University Valencia), Pascual Pérez-Paredes
(University of Cambridge)]

Conference Venue:

The conference will be held at the University of Perpignan in the south of
France. Although there is an airport in Perpignan, with a range of
international destinations, the nearest large international airports are
Barcelona and Toulouse. There are regular train services from these cities to
Perpignan. See practical information below.

Abstract Submission:

Paper presentations will consist of a 20-minute talk (in English) followed by
10 minutes for questions and discussion. Papers reporting on empirical
research should represent either completed work, or work in progress where
some results can be reported. Presentations that take the form of a software
demonstration are also welcome. Topics that are within the scope of TaLC
include, but are not necessarily limited to, corpus-based approaches to
language learning, teaching and assessment in the following areas:

teaching first and second languages (including data-driven learning materials
and student-centred linguistic investigation)
teaching languages for specific purposes
teaching interpreting and translation
engaging with spoken data
teaching intercultural communication
developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries
developing corpora/tools/resources
teacher education
research on second language acquisition and learner corpus research
teaching of corpus methods to students and researchers in linguistics
etc.

We request abstracts of 300-500 words for paper presentations. Submissions for
poster presentations may be shorter. Generally, we suggest submitting an
abstract for a poster rather than a paper presentation for: (a) reports on
research in its very early phases with no intermediate or final results to
report or (b) reports on new corpus data resources.

Abstracts should be submitted through the online submission system by clicking
on the following link:

https://easychair.org/cfp/talc2020

Author names should not appear in the main body of the abstract. Abstracts can
be uploaded as pdf files as well as plain text online. Authors should state
whether it is a full paper or a poster proposal. The deadline for abstract
submission is 15 January 2020.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of February 2020. 
There will be student as well as early-bird discounts. More information on
registration to follow.

Workshops:

If you are interested in organising one of the workshops, please contact the
organisers with a brief proposal and proposed timeline (morning, afternoon or
all-day workshop). Once the conference website indicates that the maximum
number of workshops has been reached, no further proposals can be
accommodated.
