Meeting Description:

We are very proud and happy to announce that the Graduate Student
Conference in Learner Corpus Research 2023 will be hosted by the
Institute for Applied Linguistics at Eurac Research (Bolzano, Italy)
and will take place virtually on 25-26-27 October 2023 under the aegis
of the Learner Corpus Association.
The Learner Corpus Association is an international association which
aims to promote the field of learner corpus research and provide an
interdisciplinary forum for all the researchers and professionals who
are actively involved in the field or simply want to know more about
it. 

After the great success of the first edition hosted by the Inland
Norway University of Applied Sciences (INN) in 2021, an enthusiastic
group of PhD students and researchers from Eurac Research and the
University for Foreigners of Perugia (Italy) have joined forces to
organize the second edition of the Conference!
The main aim of the Conference is to offer a space for MA and PhD
students to discuss their ongoing projects and receive feedback from
early career researchers as well as senior researchers in the field of
Learner Corpus Research, while expanding their professional networks.

The central theme of this year’s Conference is called “Bridging
Borders”: borders are intended here as physical, ideological and
theoretical-methodological barriers, as well as professional
boundaries between young and senior researchers.

Call for Papers:

We welcome submissions from MA and PhD students, as well as students
who have earned their Master’s degree prior to the Conference,
regardless of their current formal student status. Researchers who
already hold a doctoral degree are welcome and strongly encouraged to
attend as non-presenting delegates, helping to ensure the high quality
of the event and to foster the careers of students within the field of
LCR.
The language of the Conference is English, the conference platform
will be Zoom, and there will be no conference fee.

Submissions Guidelines

All topics related to  Learner Corpus Research based on any language
and from any perspective are welcome, including but not restricted to
the following areas of interest:

first and second language acquisition;

learner corpora and psycholinguistics;

learner corpus annotation, corpus statistics and corpus analysis
tools;

multimodal and/or multilingual learner corpora;

learner corpus design and methodological innovations or applications
in fields including foreign language teaching, translation studies,
language testing and Natural Language Processing.

Abstracts should provide the following:

title;

clearly articulated research question(s) and its/their relevance to
LCR;

the most essential details about research approach, data and methods;

if possible, (preliminary) results and their interpretation.

You may apply for one of the following:

Digital poster presentation: 1 poster plus 3-minute video

Paper: 20 minutes plus 5-10 minutes discussion

You are welcome to submit more than one contribution, but please note
that you can be the first author of only one contribution.

Digital posters are to be created in PowerPoint and submitted with a
short video (max. 3 minutes) prior to the start of the conference.
They will be made available throughout the conference for asynchronous
comments and questions.

A paper is a 20-minute talk, given live. Presenters will have the
possibility to share a PowerPoint (or similar) presentation from their
own computer. A Q&A session of 5-10 minutes will follow each talk.

Instructions for poster and paper presenters, along with deadlines,
will be sent out upon acceptance. We will also set up an accessible
‘Help Center’ to provide support with the digital platform, including
the technical aspects of ‘sharing’ a presentation online.

Abstracts should be submitted through ConfTool. If you do not have a
ConfTool account yet, you will be required to create one. To submit
use the following link: https://lt.eurac.edu/lcrgc23/conftool/

Abstract submission deadline: 31 March 2023

Word limit for abstracts: 300 words excluding references. Please copy
your abstract and paste it in the Abstract field in ConfTool. Do not
include your name or affiliation in the abstract. Abstracts will be
reviewed anonymously by our Scientific Committee. Notification of
acceptance will be sent out by end of June 2023.
