[Corpora-List] 2nd CfP: Workshop Assessing the potential of corpora

[P. Kaszubski]

Workshop on "Assessing the potential of corpora"
May 20, from 9 am

Organised by Przemysław Kaszubski (Poznań)
as part of  35th Poznań Linguistic Meeting
(http://elex.amu.edu.pl/ifa/plm/index.htm)

Deadline for abstract submission: 15 March

--------------
The primary goal of the workshop is to convene a forum of users of
corpora, from Poland and beyond, willing to exchange opinions on the
feasibility and practicality of corpus-based methods in linguistic
study, language teaching, and other applications.

Part 1 will feature presentations (30 minutes + 10-minute discussion,
or slightly less if time disallows ).

Part 2 will comprise an open panel discussion, introduced by our
special guest, Prof. Dafydd Gibbon (University of Bielefeld), who
will give an overview of corpora and corpus-based linguistics against
the background of other advanced language technologies of today.

Among the topics proposed so far:

Automatic phonetic annotation of corpora for EFL purposes – Prof.
Włodzimierz Sobkowiak (AMU Poznań);

Corpora in MA linguistic courses: what's wrong with teaching
linguistics in Poland – Prof. Tadeusz Piotrowski (University of
Wrocław);

A search tool for corpora with positional tagsets and ambiguities –
Dr Adam Przepiórkowski (Polish Academy of Sciences);

On unsupervised grammar induction from untagged corpora –  Prof.
Damir Cavar (& Giancarlo Schrementi, Joshua Herring, Toshikazu Ikuta)
(Indiana University)

Studying metaphor with the BNC – Dr. Małgorzata Fabiszak (AMU
Poznań);

Corpora for the teaching of translation – Maciej Machniewski (AMU
Poznań);

Corpus-based teaching of English syntax – Dr. Paweł Scheffler (AMU
Poznań);
