FINAL CALL
The Sixth Inter-Varietal Applied Corpus Studies (IVACS) group
International Conference on Corpora across Linguistics
Leeds Metropolitan University, England
21st and 22nd June 2012

Keynote Speakers Include:
Paula Buttery
Jonathan Culpeper
Sylviane Granger
Kieran O.Halloran

The aim of the conference is to continue the success of the previous
five IVACS conferences by exploring ways in which corpus linguistics
have been used in different areas of linguistics. We invite papers that
explore how this process has brought new methodological challenges and
benefits, as well as papers that report on applied corpus research in
any of the following areas:

. Corpus Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (data-driven learning;
learner corpora; testing; teacher education; non-native speakers of
English/English as an International Language (EIL)/English as a Lingua
Franca (ELF)

. Corpus Linguistics and Historical Linguistics

. Corpus Linguistics and Literature (including Corpus Stylistics; CL and
Translation Studies)

. Developments in Automated Corpus Analysis (data mining and text
classification).

. Corpus Linguistics and Analysing Discourse (using CL in conjunction
with other methodologies, e.g. Discourse Analysis, Conversation
Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis); using CL to look at language in
specific contexts, e.g. Media Discourse, Classroom Discourse, Workplace
Discourse, Academic Discourse)

. Corpus Linguistics and Forensic Linguistics

. Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics

. Corpus Linguistics and Speech Technology

. Corpus Linguistics and Sociolinguistics

Papers focusing on languages other than English, and non-native
varieties of English are particularly welcome.
