[Corpora-List] Call for participation: Corpus workshop at Leeds, 11 March

[Serge Sharoff]

Dear all,

in the context of the Intellitext project running at the Centre for
Translation Studies, University of Leed, UK, we're organising a workshop
to discuss the practice of using corpus resources in various subfields
in the humanities, such as language teaching, sociolinguistics,
translation, see the programme below.  Also we'd like to showcase the
most recent developments in the Intellitext project,

Participation is free, but for organisational reasons please contact
James Wilson (j.a.wilson at leeds.ac.uk) to let us know you're coming.

Best wishes,
Serge
