[Corpora-List] conference names

[Eric Atwell]

I suspect there is NOT a big "difference in theoretical or
methodological orientation" between the Birmingham, Saint Petersburg, 
and Valencia conferences, whcih suggests another possible way forward:
instead of devising artificially differentiating names, why not
merge the conferences into a single, more significant, Corpus Linguistics
conference? perhaps alternating between venues? Attracting even more
kudos to host, and accepted paper presenters.  And easier on travel
budgets.
