Corpus Linguistics 2013:
Call for Papers

The seventh international Corpus Linguistics conference (CL2013) will be
held at Lancaster University from Tuesday 23rd July 2013 to Friday 26th July
2013. The main conference will be preceded by a workshop day on Monday 22nd
July.

The goals of the conference are as follows.
* To gather together current and developing research in the study and
application of corpus linguistics;
* To push the field forwards by promoting dialogue among the many different
users of corpora across interconnected sub-disciplines of linguistics  be
they descriptive, theoretical, applied or computational;
* To explore new challenges both within corpus linguistics, and in the
extension of corpus approaches to new fields of study.

With these goals in mind, we invite contributions on as broad and inclusive
a basis as possible. The areas in which we particularly welcome submissions
include but are not limited to:
*  Critical explorations of existing measures and methods in corpus
linguistics;
*  New methods and techniques in corpus development, annotation and
analysis;
*  Corpus approaches to the study of new media;
* New tools and techniques developed in corpus-based computational
linguistics;
* The application of corpus approaches in the social sciences and
humanities;
* The extension of corpus linguistics to an ever-wider range of
(non-English) languages;
* The interface between corpus and theory;
* The use of corpora in discourse analysis;
* The use of corpora in second language acquisition studies and language
pedagogy.

The following speakers have accepted our invitation to give plenary lectures
at CL2013:
* Karin Aijmer
* Guy Cook
* Michael Hoey
* Ute Römer

With this announcement, we issue our main Call for Papers, and provide
notice of workshops being held on Monday 22nd July.

Call for abstracts for papers, posters and panels

We invite submission of abstracts for papers, posters and panels on any
topic relevant to the conference themes.

For this conference, we are requesting extended abstracts (750-1500 words),
as we do not plan to produce a volume of conference proceedings. All
abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the conference programme committee.

Paper presentations will consist of a 20 minute talk followed by 10 minutes
for questions and discussion. Please note: paper submissions should present
either complete research, or research in progress where at least some
substantial results have been achieved. Work in progress which has yet to
produce results can be submitted as a poster abstract  see below.

Submissions for panel discussions should take the form of a single 1500 word
abstract on behalf of all speakers to be on the panel. The abstract should
include a note to specify whether the panel is intended to be 1 hour or 1.5
hours in length.

Submissions for poster presentations should be shorter (400-750 words). We
especially welcome poster abstracts that (a) report on innovative research
that is in its very earliest phases (b) report on new software or corpus
data resources.

We especially encourage abstract submissions from early-career researchers,
including postgraduate research students and postdoctoral researchers.

All abstracts must be submitted via the conference website; the submission
system will be live from 18th November 2012. A template file, containing
instructions for laying out abstracts, is available for download from the
submission page.

Key dates
* 18th November 2012  abstract submission opens via conference website
* 8th January 2013  deadline for abstract submission
* 15th February 2013  notification of the outcome of peer review; early
