[Corpora-List] Meeting vs Symposium vs Conference

[Krishnamurthy, Ramesh]

Hi Majid - "I should see the characteristics of the events in the websites not their name!"

Absolutely! :)

...and if you are still in any doubt, contact the organisers of the event, to make sure it is appropriate

for your purpose!

Ramesh

Dear Krishnamurthy,

There is a misunderstanding about what I mean. Actually, I do not want to know the meaning of these words or usage of the words.As an student, I would like to submit a paper to a conference/symposium/meeting. I thought as differences among workshops, conferences and journal, there might be some different between the events too.
To make it more clear, I believe that for a thesis as an example, we can schedule as follows: basic idea of a research can be submitted to a workshop and more elaborate studies on this subject can lead to several conference papers. Finally, all the works can be summarized in a journal article.
With regard to your answer, I find out there is no fundamental differences among conferences, symposium, or meetings for targeting an event for a paper. For this purpose, I should see the characteristics of the events in the websites not their name!


Regards,

Majid,

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?

Ramesh

Dear Mr. Krishnamurthy!

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

Hi

A discussion-list is not the best place to find defintions of words -

as you will see from the many postings about the meaning of 'corpus'! :)

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 ...
If you want to know the usage within a particular technical field, look within

that field. For example, if you want to know the usage within corpus linguistics,

you could go to the searchable archives of corpora-list, listed at

http://www.hit.uib.no/corpora/

and search each of the terms.


... you should not use the discussion list:)

Sorry, but I just had to do it:)
