[Corpora-List] New Methods in Historical Corpora

[Paul Bennett]

Conference on New Methods in Historical Corpora
University of Manchester, UK
29-30 April 2011
Preliminary Notice

The world of corpus linguistics has expanded to include diachronic as  
well as synchronic corpora, with ARCHER (A Representative Corpus of  
Historical English Registers) serving as a model for a number of other  
historical corpora, in terms of annotations and representativeness.  
Now is an opportune time to bring specialists together to discuss the  
construction, annotation and analysis of diachronic corpora in a  
variety of languages. This conference is organised by the GerManC  
Project, which aims to compile a representative historical corpus of  
written German for the years 1650-1800, and is supported by the ESRC  
and AHRC.

The following have agreed to give plenary papers:
David Denison (Manchester)
Anke Lüdeling (Berlin)
Terttu Nevalainen (Helsinki)
Klaus-Peter Wegera (Bochum)

A full Call for Papers will be issued in September.
