Dear all, Please find below the first call for papers for the Corpora and Discourse International Conference, 2026. Best wishes, Gavin Brookes Call for Papers We are happy to announce the call for papers for the 8th Corpora & Discourse International Conference (#CADS 2026). This conference will be hosted by Lancaster University, UK from Tuesday 23rd June to Thursday 25th June 2026. The Corpora and Discourse International Conference showcases research that combines corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in all forms and under all names. Our key objective is to bring together researchers who are interested in how discourse(s) are structured, patterned, and received, and who use corpus linguistics as part of this work. Keynote speakers: We are delighted to announce our confirmed keynote speakers: * Matteo Fuoli<https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/elal/fuoli-matteo> (University of Birmingham, UK) * Brian King<https://english.hku.hk/people/Faculty/61/Dr_Brian_King> (University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) * Michaela Mahlberg<https://www.dhss.phil.fau.de/person/prof-dr-michaela-mahlberg/> (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany) * Elena Semino<https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/linguistics/about/people/elena-semino> (Lancaster University, UK) The call for papers opens on 2 September 2025 and closes on 16 November 2025. We welcome abstracts for both oral presentations and poster presentations reporting on work at the intersections of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, broadly conceived. Contributions might address, but certainly do not need to be limited to, the following areas: * academic, scientific, technological and medical discourse(s); * comparative studies; * discourse(s) and identities; * discourse(s) in language acquisition, language learning and teaching; * discursive and/or language change over time (including historical analyses); * discourse(s) and social issues (e.g., health, the environment, gender and sexuality, technology, politics and polycrises); * figurative language in discourse (e.g. metaphor, metonymy, irony); * institutional discourse(s); * intercultural discourses; * language ideology and policy; * media, social media, new media and hybrid text types; * methodological innovations in corpus and discourse analysis approaches; * multimodality and corpora; * reflective contributions on the assumptions, practices, ethical dilemmas and implications of corpus and discourse analysis research; * corpus stylistics and literary discourse; * translation studies and discourse(s). Submission information: As this is an in-person only conference, all presenting participants must attend the conference in person. Oral presentations should present research that is either completed or that is ongoing with some substantial results. Research that is a work in progress and that is yet to yield substantial results is welcome in the form of a poster presentation. Oral presentations will consist of a 20-minute talk followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion. For oral/poster presentations, please submit an unstructured abstract of up to 4000 characters (including references). Abstracts should be submitted in the form on this page: https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cad-2026/call-for-papers/ (the form is also accessible directly here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/qkm2sqPKA1) Please format your in-text references and bibliography in Chicago Citation Style. Key dates: * The call for papers opens on 2 September 2025. * The deadline for abstract submission is 16 November 2025. * Notification of acceptance (or rejection) will be sent out mid January 2026. * Registration opens on 2 February 2026. * Registration closes on 1 June 2026. * The conference will take place from 23 to 25 June 2026.

From where could you get lists of word stems and their derivatives for languages? ...
by lbrtchx＠tutamail.com 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

they should be formatted as two files of text lines sharing an index a la: stem_index|stem then word|stem_index|POS_index if the word doesn't have a stem word say, conjunctions and pronouns it should be included as it is. Is there such a thing? or how could you suggest one could build it with available resources? lbrtchx

OpenReview Tutorial for Conference Setup - Does One Exist?
by Wajdi Zaghouani 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

Dear NLP Community, Does anyone know of a video tutorial or easy-to-follow guide for setting up and managing conferences on OpenReview? Many new organizers struggle with OpenReview since it's quite different from the previous systems. While OpenReview does have documentation, the current guides are not beginner-friendly and require significant time to understand. The learning curve is particularly steep for newcomers to conference organization. If no accessible tutorial exists, would the community be interested in creating one? A step-by-step video guide would really help new organizers navigate the platform more efficiently and reduce the time spent figuring things out. Please let me know if you have resources to share or would like to help create something. Thanks!

Call for participation: survey on impacts of pre-printing and reviewing
by Shane Storks 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Dear all, (Apologies for cross-posting.) It has been over a year since the ACL updated its anonymity policies to allow publicly sharing pre-prints of submitted papers and promotion of them on social media. In light of this, we are conducting a survey on the impact of anonymity policies where we are interested to understand how preprinting and reviewers' prior knowledge affects review scores; and the impact of such policies on underrepresented communities. We would greatly appreciate if you took 10-12 minutes to share your opinion. Our survey is linked here <https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=d3Ulb4YRP066isnpi8DR9hb…> . Thank you, A Pranav & Shane Storks Queer in AI
