Meeting Description: 

Learner Language, Learner Corpora - LLLC 2012 - an international 
conference addressing learner language and language corpora will take 
place from October 5-6, 2012 at the University of Oulu, Finland. This 
conference is aimed at those who use electronic data in learner language 
analyses, as well as those who study Finno-Ugric learner languages, their 
acquisition and teaching.

The conference will be organised to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the 
VIRSU project and to introduce the CoLLU project (Corpus study on 
Learner Language Universals). VIRSU was originally a cooperative project 
for teachers and researchers of Estonian and Finnish as a foreign 
language. It has recently expanded its aims and thus seeks to create 
connections between all linguists working with any of the Finno-Ugric target 
(foreign or second) languages, or the language situations in the countries 
where Finno-Ugric languages are spoken.

The CoLLU project in turn focuses on the identification of Learner 
Language Universals that are present in a learner language regardless of 
the learner's mother tongue. The project hosts the ICLFI Corpus, which is a 
multi-mother tongue corpus of learner Finnish that is almost five years old.

The invited keynote speakers are 
Professor Fanny Meunier (Centre for English Corpus Linguistics, Université
Catholique de Louvain), 
Professor Charlotte Gooskens (Scandinavian Department, University of 
Groningen), 
Postdoctoral Researcher Minna Suni (Academy of Finland, University of 
Jyväskylä). 

The languages of the conference will be Finnish and English.

Important dates:
August 31th 2011: First call for papers
December 31st 2011: Abstract submission
March 31st 2012: Notification of acceptance
October 5-6 2012: LLLC 2012 Conference

Further information on the conference and the venue will be given in the 
first call for papers. We are looking forward to seeing you in Oulu in 2012!
