Meeting Description:

Ghent University Research Group on Linguistic Meaning & Structure (GLIMS) is
pleased to announce the 9th international conference on Grammar and Corpora
(GaC 2022), which will be held at Ghent University, Belgium, from Thursday, 30
June 2022, to Saturday, 2 July 2022.

The conference seeks to provide a forum for fruitful exchanges of ideas
between researchers over topics and issues such as the creation and relative
merits of different types of corpora, new annotation and parsing techniques,
the use of advanced statistical methods and models, the triangulation of
corpus data with methods from psycholinguistics and other neighbouring
disciplines, the discourse-grammar interface, and more generally the impact of
corpus linguistics on linguistic theory.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

* Gert De Sutter (Ghent University, Belgium)
* Anke Lüdeling (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany)
* Marieke Meelen (University of Cambridge, United Kingdom)
* Maria del Carmen Parafita Couto (Leiden University, the Netherlands)
* Florent Perek (University of Birmingham, United Kingdom)
* Sali Tagliamonte (University of Toronto, Canada)


2nd Call for Papers:

Papers are invited that enhance our knowledge and understanding of individual
languages through the use of corpus-linguistic methods in the description and
theoretical analysis of the grammar of natural languages, and/or higlight the
implications of corpus-linguistic work for our discipline at large. Focal
areas of interest include, but are not limited to,

* the use of corpora in the description of grammatical patterns (including the
discourse-grammar interface, grammatical aspects of code-switching etc.) from
language-particular or contrastive/crosslinguistic perspectives

* tools, methods and techniques in the assembly, annotation and
grammar-related analysis of corpora

* the characteristics and relative merits of (combinations of) different types
of corpora in the study of grammatical patterns

* the use of statistical and quantitative methods and the triangulation of
corpus-linguistic results with data from other (e.g. experimental) approaches

* the interaction of corpus linguistics with neighbouring disciplines such as
computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, translation studies, etc.

* the identification and modelling of (different types of) grammatical
variation using corpus methods and the link between synchronic variation and
change-in-progress

* the use of advanced corpus-linguistic and statistical methods in historical
linguistics

* the impact of corpus linguistics on our understanding of grammar, language
change and the foundational concepts of linguistics at large

SUBMISSION:

We welcome abstracts for 20-minute oral presentations (plus 10 minutes for
discussion). Abstracts should be fully anonymous and clearly state the
research question(s), approach, method, data, and (expected) results. They
should not exceed 500 words, excluding data, figures, and references, and must
be submitted through EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gc2022 by November 30, 2021. All
submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers of the
programme committee.

Each individual may submit up to two abstracts: one as sole or first author,
one as second author. The conference language is English.

IMPORTANT DATES:

30 November 2021: deadline for abstract submission

15 March 2022: notification of acceptance/rejection, registration opens

30 April 2022: early-bird registration closes

30 June - 2 July 2022: conference
