Subject: [E-CFP] Assessing potential of corpora (PLM2004)


Pozna 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.W=B3odzimierz Sobkowiak
   * Studying metaphor with the BNC - Dr. Ma=B3gorzata Fabiszak
   * Corpora for the teaching of translation - Maciej Machniewski (PhD
report)
   * Corpus-based teaching of English syntax - Dr. Pawe=B3 Scheffler
   * Web concordancing and EFL writing - Dr. Przemys=B3aw 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>.
