This Conference is intended as a gathering for corpus linguists working on any aspect of the English language and concerned with corpora issues. The main issues that this conference aims at debating are:
– the use and reliability of a corpus in the hypothesis-building process
– the use of corpora in linguistics courses or in language courses
– How corpora can advance research into the diversity of “Englishes” and the question of norms.
Keynote Speaker: Mark Davies
