The 4th edition of LingCor: Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics will
take place at the Institut für Romanistik of the Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin from the 5th till the 7th October 2026. It builds on three
previous editions held at the Universitat de València (2018), the
Universitat d’Alacant (2019), and the University of Vienna (2024),
continuing an established international forum dedicated to spoken
corpus research. LingCor aims to bring together researchers working
with spoken corpus data in order to advance methodological innovation,
foster cross-linguistic comparison, and strengthen collaboration in
the field of spoken corpus linguistics. While the workshop has a
particular focus on Romance languages and varieties, contributions
from other linguistic contexts are equally welcome.
The workshop pursues two main objectives. First, it seeks to promote
empirically grounded research on spoken language across domains such
as morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology, as
well as variationist and quantitative approaches. Second, it provides
a platform for discussing best practices in spoken corpus
construction, including data collection, sampling strategies,
sociolinguistic and dialectal stratification, transcription,
labelling, and annotation.
By explicitly connecting analytical research with questions of corpus
design and infrastructure, LingCor aims to strengthen methodological
standards in spoken data research and to foster sustainable
international cooperation in this rapidly developing field.
The book of abstracts and the provisional program (as of September
1st, 2026) are available for download here:
