We have started registration for the seminar, which will
be held in Dubrovnik from 26-28 September 2002 in the
International Centre of Croatian Universities.

'Information in Corpora' can be understood to mean a
variety of things. We are interested in finding out what
words and phrases mean, what texts are about and what it
means to translate them into a different language.

Corpus linguistics is committed to automatic analysis. It
uses categorical information, but wants to make sure that
the categories it works with are not in conflict with
corpus evidence. It deals with statistical significance,
but is aware that our aim must be to match it to semantic
relevance, as perceived by language users.

If meanings are a priority for corpus linguists, they know
they have to find them in the forms from which they cannot
be separated. Pattern recognition is a vital part of
extracting formal information from corpora. Identifying,
in parallel corpora, translation units, those units of
meaning that are translated as a whole, and aligning them
with their target language equivalents refers to a
different kind of information.

REGISTRATION. The registration fee for the conference is
EUR 150/75* for academic partners, and EUR 300/150* for
