[Corpora-List] conference names

[John Kirk]

ICLIC is a bit awkward to pronounce.

What we have to go on is simply "Corpus Linguistics" + the fact that it's been a Conference

So how about CorLinCo ??

got a bit of rhythm about it as well ...

An abbreviation rather than an acronym.

Any good?

The conference in St Petersburg is already using the name CORPORA.

I like iCLIC as well.

I think of the Corpus Linguistics series as the -C-L- (see-ell) conference series i.e. CL2001, CL2003, …, CL2011 so the name doesn’t clash with anything else if you say it that way.
