Young researchers' conference - Nanterre, France - April 29 & 30, 2004

The young researchers of Modèle, Dynamique, Corpus (UMR 7114 CNRS -
Université
Paris-X Nanterre) research team, are organizing a young researchers'
conference, scheduled for April 29 and 30, 2004, at Paris X-Nanterre
Université
campus.

The setting up of observables in linguistics is the central topic of this
conference, i.e. defining and making use of both attested and
constructed data.
Young researchers from all fields and domains of linguistics are, therefore,
invited to submit a paper. Postgraduate, Ph. D. and postdoc students are
invited to provide useful insights and experience on their respective
research
areas.

Communications addressing methodological and theoretical issues related
to the
process of setting up linguistic data, as well as data collection and
utilization are expected. For example, communications addressing one of the
following issues are expected:
- Relevance and selection of linguistic data;
- Corpora and emerging linguistic phenomena;
- Oral, written or signed data collection methodology and practice;
- Questions related to corpora related tools, transcription and encoding;
- The use and place of quantitative methods, both generic and specific;
- Qualitative methods;
- Language, text genres or discourse comparison.

Each conference session will start by an invited speaker's talk. A
roundtable
will be held at the end of the conference. Communications should last 20
minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions.

The deadline for proposals is set on January 26, 2004. Communication
proposals
will be evaluated anonymously by the scientific committee. Authors are
invited
to send two separate files, in Word format: first a two pages long summary
(3000 signs) of their communication, second a file stating the authors'
names,
e-mail address, affiliation, together with the title of their communication.
Authors may also state their preference regarding the format of their
communication: oral, or poster. Communications will be evaluated
according to a
range of selection criterions, favoring those papers which fully address the
issue stated above, which show methodological relevance and scientific
interest, and which state their point clearly.

Communication proposals, as well as other requests should be addressed to:
<sylvain.loiseau at u-paris10.fr>, or by postal mail, to the following address:

     ColDoc' 2004 MoDyCo (UMR 7114)
