[Corpora-List] CORLI

Tue Feb 15 10:40:30 UTC 2011

Interesting to read this thread. Things began with a birthday party for Geoff Leech around which the first conference was built. We thought about 40 people would want to attend the conference – we got well over a hundred. The conference has gone well beyond it birthday party beginnings since, so perhaps it is time to rethink the name. I must say I rather like ICLIC – largely because it does indeed sound like an Iphone App, as Susan has mentioned! However, if it is already taken that is a problem. Perhaps we should discuss naming at the conference this summer? Best,

Tony

ICLIC sounds quite the same way as people in a cognitive linguistics community pronounce ICLC (International Cognitive Linguistics Conference). Some people do both coRpus and coGnitive linguistics.

do go for ICLIC - it's both cute AND has unimpeachable credentials as an unforced acronym, so is likely to stick, AND you're eminently in a position to do the christening, hosting ICLIC 2011 as you are!

Actually I also like ICLIC (International Corpus LInguistics Conference), but that sounds like an iphone app.

CORLI sounds like an option.

 From the net: Corly \c(o)-rly, cor-ly\ as a girl's name is a variant
of Corliss (Old English),
and the meaning of Corly is "carefree, cheery, benevolent".

This would make CORLI a female mate to the COLING.
