IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 April 2010
Acceptance notification: 15 May 2010

DESCRIPTION
This theme session addresses a number of theoretical, applied and 
methodological challenges faced by the corpus-based investigation of 
linguistic and other related semiotic phenomena in a contrastive 
manner. The purpose of this theme session is to discuss burning issues 
arising from contrastive and cross-cultural studies using corpus data.

Papers are welcome on one or more of the following topics:

- Corpora for contrastive analysis: problems and challenges faced by 
the use of comparable (original texts) or translation corpora (parallel 
texts). What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? In which 
ways can they be used in a combined way for maximal benefit?

- Corpus analysis: qualitative and quantitative contrastive 
explorations using corpora; contrastive and cross-cultural multimodal 
corpus-based studies.

- Corpus annotation: the role of corpus annotation for the validation 
of linguistic hypotheses. Problems and challenges faced during the 
annotation process. Experimental methodologies for measuring the 
reliability, consistency and accuracy of the contrastive annotations. 

- Applications: contrastive and cross-cultural corpus studies applied 
to contexts such as document design, language learning, translation, 
computational linguistics, etc…
