[Corpora-List] CORLI

[Michal Ptaszynski]

Doesn't CORLY sound a bit like... corny?
 From other interesting acronyms, how about CORPLING? (Google: did you mean  
"coupling" :) )
or CRPLT (pronounced "crippled")

btw, didn't someone make an automatic acronym generator?

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?

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!

I rather like CORLISS (CORpus LInguistics StudieS).

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.
