The Eighth Inter-Varietal Applied Corpus Studies (IVACS) Conference:
Corpora and Context

Bath Spa University, UK
16 - 17 June, 2016

The aim of the conference is to continue the success of the previous seven
IVACS conferences held at the Universities of Limerick (2002, 2008), Belfast,
(2004), and Nottingham (2006), Edinburgh (2010), Leeds (2012) and Newcastle
(2014). 

The theme of the conference is corpora and context and is intended to draw our
attention to the important role context plays in language variation. We are
particularly interested in papers which draw on applied corpus research in the
following areas, though these are in no way exclusive:

- Corpus Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (data-driven learning; learner
corpora; testing; teacher education; non-native speakers of English/English as
an International Language (EIL)/English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
- Corpus Linguistics and Analysing Discourse (using CL in conjunction with
other methodologies, e.g. Discourse Analysis, Conversation Analysis, Critical
Discourse Analysis; using CL to look at language in specific contexts, e.g.
Media Discourse, Classroom Discourse, Workplace Discourse, Academic Discourse)
- Corpus Linguistics and Literature (including Corpus Stylistics; CL and
Translation Studies). Corpus Linguistics and Forensic Linguistics
- Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics
- Corpus Linguistics and Speech Technology
- Corpus Linguistics and Sociolinguistics 

Papers focusing on languages other than English, and non-native varieties of
English are particularly welcome.

Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 26 February 2016
