Meeting Description:

The core interest of this conference is to identify the place of theoretical
linguistics in the last decade, when the use of quantitative methods in the
humanities has grown exponentially. The international conference aims to bring
together researchers working on both qualitative research and quantitative
analysis taking into account statistical calculations and computational
methods. 
The expected results are:
- a better understanding of how theoretical linguistics is being rethought in
the light of quantitative methods
- a more precise and complete view of the theoretical linguistic reflections
behind quantitative linguistics
- a profitable exchange of methods and quantitative tools tested in research
already carried out
- an overview of future research prospects in quantitative corpus linguistics 
- present and future gains for theoretical linguistics

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Barbara McGillivray (Alan Turing Institute & Cambridge University)
Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University)
