the title and references.

Abstracts will be double-blind peer reviewed by two members of the scientific
committee. Authors of accepted papers can present their work at the conference
in 30-minute timeslots: 20-minute talks, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Posters will be on display in a dedicated area during the two days of the
conference. There will also be a special time slot for poster discussion,
preceded by a specific session where authors will be able to make a pitch for
their posters. Before the start of the conference, a book of abstracts will be
published online and made available to participants. After the conference, all
paper and poster presenters will be invited to submit extended versions of
their papers for a peer-reviewed special issue of the Research in Corpus
Linguistics journal.
