Dear all,
The ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science at Lancaster University is once again offering a series of informal meetings to explore key issues in corpus linguistics. This summer term's theme is: "How Not to Be Replaced by AI: Corpus Linguistics Reflections."
Each session combines theoretical insights with practical applications, drawing on selected readings and current debates in both AI and corpus linguistics.
