Meeting Description:

In recent years, the field of linguistics has seen an increasing
demand for corpus-based analysis of natural language data amidst a
general revival of interest in the empirical foundations of linguistic
theory. Contemporary digital corpora offer as yet unprecedented
opportunities for all kinds of linguistic research, where traditional
linguistic analysis in its various theoretical and methodological
paradigms originating in part in different philological and linguistic
traditions of the past co-exists with and is reinforced by advanced
statistical and corpus-linguistic methods made possible by modern data
processing and annotation techniques. Since corpora can be used in
both synchronic and diachronic analyses of language material, they
provide an ideal basis not only for effectively utilizing traditional
and already established methods, but also for developing new
theoretical and empirical approaches to studying the grammatical
system of natural languages and language varieties.
The Department of Latvian and Baltic Studies, University of Latvia, is
pleased to announce the 10th international conference on Grammar and
Corpora (G&C), which will be held on-site at the University of Latvia
from 26 June to 28 June 2025. The conference continues the series of
G&C conferences, which began in Prague, at Charles University, in
2005. Subsequently, G&C conferences have been held at various
locations and universities: in Liblice (2007), Prague (2012), Warszaw
(2014), Mannheim (2009, 2016), Paris (2018), Kraków (2020) and Ghent
(2022). The 2025 G&C conference in Riga seeks to provide a forum for
exchange of novel and creative ideas between researchers interested in
studying various aspects of grammar and its interfaces, using
different types of corpora and corpus-linguistic approaches, methods
and techniques. We welcome submissions that contribute to our
theoretical and practical understanding and knowledge of the
structure, patterns and regularities of the grammatical system of
natural languages using corpora and corpus-linguistic methods in the
description and theoretical analysis of individual languages, language
varieties and language contacts. Although our special focus is on the
Baltic languages (Latvian and Lithuanian), submissions are equally
welcome for Germanic languages, including English, Romance,
Finno-Ugric, Slavic and other languages.

Relevant topics and areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
 1) the use of corpora in the analysis of grammatical patterns (incl.
inflectional and derivational morphology, syntax and phonetics) in
individual languages and language varieties, as well as from
contrastive, typological and cognitive perspectives
 2) exploring the relationship between discourse and grammar through
the use of different types of corpora
 3) grammar–semantics interface in corpus analysis
 4) derivational morphology, creativity and corpora
 5) application and development of tools, methods and techniques for
grammar-related analysis of corpus data
 6) the relative characteristics (and combinations) of different types
of corpora in the study of various aspects of grammar
 7) statistical and quantitative methods in studying synchronic and
diachronic phenomena in grammar
 8) the use of corpus-linguistic methods in historical linguistics
 9) language change, its representation and analysis in different
types of corpora

abstracts – one as the only or the first author and another as a
co-author. Notification of acceptance will be given by 27 March 2025.

Abstracts should be anonymous and clearly state the research
questions, methodology, data types and sources and (expected) results.
Abstracts should be 500 words or less, excluding references and
figures, typed in Times New Roman 12 pt and submitted as Word or PDF
