[Corpora-List] CfP Assessing potential of corpora (PLM2004)

[P. Kaszubski]

Poznań Linguistic Meeting 2004
(http://elex.amu.edu.pl/ifa/plm/)

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


Call for Papers
===========

The goal of the workshop is to convene a forum of users of language
corpora interested in the exchange of ideas related to the
feasibility of corpus use in linguistic study and language teaching.
We welcome papers and/or demonstrations describing corpus-inspired
research and pedagogical applications, and, ideally, attempting to
evaluate the resources, tools and procedures examined for the
purpose. Some of the likely areas include:
  * insights from large and small corpora for descriptive and
pedagogical linguistics
  * data-driven-learning and other uses of corpora in/for the
classroom
  * corpus-based/-driven contrastive analysis
  * corpus-based/-driven genre analysis
  * learner corpora – Error Analysis and more
  * corpora and translation
  * the "web as corpus" for language research and pedagogy
  * corpus-based/-driven tools and methods for language task learning
  * ... and many many more :)

Topics proposed so far:
  * Automatic phonetic annotation of corpora for EFL purposes – Prof.
Włodzimierz Sobkowiak
  * Studying metaphor with the BNC – Dr. Małgorzata Fabiszak
  * Corpora for the teaching of translation – Maciej Machniewski (PhD
report)
  * Corpus-based teaching of English syntax – Dr. Paweł Scheffler
  * Web concordancing and EFL writing – Dr. Przemysław Kaszubski

Presentations will last 30 minutes and be followed by 10-minute
discussion. The conference language will be English; however we also
welcome papers based on corpora of Polish and other languages.

Abstracts of 250-300 words should be e-mailed by March 15 to:
Przemek Kaszubski <przemek at ifa.amu.edu.pl>.
