 * * * Call for Papers * * *

Following the successful initial conference in Louvain, Belgium, in 2011, with more than 100 presentations, the next conference in this biannual series will be held near Bergen, Norway, on September 27-29, 2013. See the website for more details.

We welcome presentations that address all aspects of learner corpus research, in particular the following ones:

 - Corpus based transfer studies
 - Longitudinal and cross-linguistic learner corpora
 - Learner corpora for less commonly taught languages
 - Statistical methods in learner corpus studies
 - Search engines for learner corpora
 - Task and learner variables
 - Data mining and other explorative approaches to learner corpora
 - Corpora as pedagogical resources
 - Metaphors, idioms and multiword expressions in learner language
 - Innovative annotations in learner corpora
 - Error detection and correction of learner language
 - Links between learner corpus research and other research methodologies (e.g. experimental methods)
 - Learner corpora, native speaker norms and the English as a lingua franca debate

There will be three different categories of presentation:

 - Full paper (20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion)
 - Corpus/software demonstration
 - Poster

The posters are intended to present research still at a preliminary stage and on which researchers would like to get feedback. The conference aims to be a showcase for the latest developments in the field and will feature both corpus/software demos and a book exhibition.

The language of the conference is English.
