[Corpora-List] System and Corpus: Second Call for Papers

[Susan Hunston]

(With apologies for cross-postings) 

> The BAAL/CUP seminar 'System and Corpus: Exploring the connections' will take place on 11th-12th April 2003 at the University of Liverpool. The seminar will bring together researchers who are working mainly in either systemic-functional linguistics or corpus linguistics, and who are sympathetic to both approaches. There will be workshops led by invited speakers, and a number of individual paper presentations.

> TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
> If you would like to present a paper, please send an abstract of no more than 400 words by email to Gordon Tucker at the University of Cardiff (tuckerg at cf.ac.uk). Topics for papers might include, but are not restricted to, these seminar themes:

> 2.	(in)compatibilities between descriptions of language based on systemic-functional theory and those based on corpus research;
> 3.	future directions for research using the synergy between systemic-functional linguistics and corpus research.
> The deadline for abstracts is 30th January 2003.
