The International Congress of Linguists (ICL) is organized once every five years as the meeting place for international linguistics, where all areas and sub-disciplines of linguistics as well as interdisciplinary topics can be discussed. Its 21st edition (https://icl2024poznan.pl/) will be held from 8 to 14 September 2024 in Poznań and now invites abstracts for Sections, Focus streams, and Workshops.

Call for Abstracts: Corpus Linguistics

Focus stream 8 invites abstracts of papers that examine the methods and applications of corpus linguistics. Topics may include the design and construction of corpora, the analysis and interpretation of corpus data, the use of corpus tools and software, and the implications of corpus findings for various linguistic domains and disciplines. The focus stream also explores the challenges and opportunities of corpus linguistics in the era of big data, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing.

Abstracts should clearly state the research question(s), approach, method, data, and (expected) results. They should not display the names of the presenters, nor their affiliations or addresses, or any other information that could reveal their authorship. They should contain the title, five keywords, and a text between 300 and 400 words (including examples, excluding references).

Each abstract will be reviewed anonymously by two reviewers (section/focus stream/workshop convenor + external reviewer).
