The primary purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers  from Birmingham and from Sao Paulo and other parts of Brazil, all of whom have strong interests in the use of corpora for social science research, or who are involved in social science research and want to explore the potential for using corpus resources and techniques in their work. Researchers from other institutions/countries are also welcome.
