[Corpora-List] Meeting vs Symposium vs Conference

[Krishnamurthy, Ramesh]

Hi Jernej

No need to apologise - it's me who should say sorry! :)

As usual, a quick discussion-list posting can be easily misunderstood! :)
What I meant to say was - search the archives to see which organisations
called their events meetings, conferences, or symposia, and look at the characteristics
of those organisations and those events.

For example, if Majid is organising such an event in the field of corpus linguistics, 
and wants to know what to call it, this would be a good way to decide?

best
Ramesh

Dear Mr. Krishnamurthy!

I apologise myself in advance but I just had to answer this, it made me
laugh:)

I agree as I followed the discussion in the last two weeks and it still
did not converge to a "simple answer".

But, if a discussion is not the best place ...

Sorry, but I just had to do it:)
