[Corpora-List] CFP: Third International Postgraduate Conference on Language and Cogniticon (ELC3)

[Paula Rodriguez]

We are pleased to announce the *Third International Postgraduate Conference
on Language and Cognition (ELC3),* to be held at the University of Santiago
de Compostela (Spain) on *21-22 September 2012.*

ELC3 aims to provide postgraduate students with an opportunity to present
and discuss their research in an informal and intellectually stimulating
setting. We welcome proposals for papers characterized by an empirical,
cognitive-functional outlook on the study of language and communication;
they may cover fields as diverse as grammar and morphosyntax, language
change and historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics,
speech and language disorders, discourse analysis and pragmatics,
lexicology and semantics, contrastive and corpus linguistics, and
linguistics applied to the teaching and acquisition of first and second
languages.

The conference is organised by postgraduate students from the English
Departments at the Universities of Santiago de Compostela and Vigo and the
Department of Social and Experimental Psychology at Santiago de Compostela.
It is supported by the *English Linguistics Circle* <http://elc.org.es/>, a
research network involving the following research teams:

*Variation, Linguistic Change and Grammaticalization<http://www.usc-vlcg.es/>
