=====================================
WORKSHOP ON ARABIC CORPUS LINGUISTICS
       CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
=====================================

11th and 12th April 2011
Lancaster University, UK

Keynote speakers:
 - Eric Atwell, University of Leeds 
 - Tony McEnery, Lancaster University

Over the past few years, research into the Arabic
language using corpora and corpus methods has
moved from a new direction to an active field, with
work advancing rapidly on many different fronts of
both corpus linguistics and computational linguistics.
To create a venue where these different directions
on corpus research into Arabic can be brought together
to explore progress in the field, the UCREL research
centre at Lancaster University will host a *Workshop
on Arabic Corpus Linguistics* on Monday 11th and 
Tuesday 12th April 2011.

The scope of the workshop encompasses both (a) the
design, construction and annotation of Arabic corpora,
and (b) the use of corpora in research on the Arabic
language - in areas including lexis and lexicography,
syntax, collocation, NLP systems and analysis tools,
stylistics, and discourse analysis.

Registration is now open for this event.
