[Corpora-List] CORLI

[WILLIAMS Geoffrey]

I must say that CORLI sounds nice, but I'll still call it Corpus 
Linguistics 20XX as it is the international reference and says what the 
event should be about; corpus linguistics

Why do we constantly have to water down what Corpus Linguistics is 
about, does the heritage of the great, such as John Sinclair, mean nothing?

Best

Geoffrey
