Call for Papers
GRAMMAR AND CORPORA 2009
3rd International Conference
22-24 September 2009
IDS (Institute for the German Language)
Mannheim, Germany
SCOPE:
The conference will cover the following two areas:
(1) recent findings in corpus-based grammar research in German,
English, Romance and Slavic languages,
(2) theoretical and methodological issues in corpus-linguistic grammar
research.
A look at corpus-based grammar research in German, English or the
Romance and Slavic languages shows that not only are there very
different theoretical stances in these various traditions but also
different empirical focal points of research. The conference
organisers feel that this state of affairs should not be seen as an
obstacle but as the starting point for fruitful trans-disciplinary
discussions. The confrontation of philological traditions, empirical
description, theory, computational linguistics and corpus linguistics
provides opportunities to further a critical but constructive
dialogue.
The issues involved will be the focus of several invited keynote
speeches (see below) as well as two sections and a poster session, for
which we invite contributions from the corpus-linguistic community.
The languages of the conference are English and German.
For a description of the two sections and further information, see the
conference website at: http://www.ids-mannheim.de/gac2009.html
SUBMISSIONS:
We invite submissions for section papers and for the poster session.
Presentations of papers in both sections will take 30 minutes plus 10
minutes time for discussion. Submissions should contain the title of
the paper, the name of the section, and an abstract of between 300 and
500 words.
Poster submissions should contain the title of the poster and an
abstract not exceeding 300 words in length.
Please include also your name and affiliation and submit the abstracts
