A propos du conférencier :
Bill Louw is a Senior Lecturer in Modern English Language at the
University of Zimbabwe, where he also teaches two papers in
Communication and Negotiating Skills on the MBA in the Graduate School
of Management, using data-assisted methods. He produced the first ever
corpus-assisted literacy campaign, The Zimbabwe LITRAID Project, in
1991. This video-led project was funded by the Rotary Foundation and
created in conjunction with the School of Education and CLAC at the
Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. The completed project was finally
censored both in Zimbabwe, and in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. In his
youth he graduated in English and Latin at Rhodes University,
Grahamstown, South Africa and holds an honours degree in English
Linguistics from the same university. In the mid  `70s he read
stylistics under the direction of David Crystal at the University of
Reading. He has published articles in stylistics, classroom
concordancing, data-assisted literary criticism, semantic prosodies
and contextual prosodic theory (CPT). He is co-author (with David
Hoover and Jonathan Culpeper) of a book entitled Advances in Corpus
Stylistics, due out from Routledge in 2005. He led the first EU
sponsored course entitled The Corpus in Literary Text Analysis at the
Tuscan Word Centre (Co-taught with John Sinclair and Fiona Tweedie) in
June 2000 and has, on several occasions, been a visiting fellow at 
COBUILD, ELR and at the Centre for Advanced Research in English (CARE)
at the University of Birmingham and at the Open University. He is to
deliver a keynote address entitled Collocation as the Determinant of
Verbal Art at a conference at the University of Bologna, Italy in
September 2004. More recently his research has begun to move into
`endogenous' forensic studies, focussing upon lies and deceptions as
marked forms which characterise and underpin the ideology of the legal
profession and the justice delivery system.
