First Call for Papers

 The Fourth Inter-Varietal Applied Corpus Studies (IVACS) group
 International Conference on
 Applying Corpus Linguistics

 University of Limerick, Ireland
 13th and 14th June 2008


Confirmed Keynote Speakers Include:
------------------------------------------------
 Svenja Adolphs
 Luke Prodromou
 Randi Reppen

 The aim of the conference is to continue the success of the previous three
 IVACS conferences held at the Universities of Limerick, Belfast and
 Nottingham in 2002, 2004 and 2006, by exploring ways in which corpus
 linguistics has been applied to other areas of research and pedagogy. We
 invite papers that explore how this process has brought new methodological
 challenges and benefits, as well as papers that report on applied corpus
 research in any of the following areas:
     * 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 CL and
        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.
