The workshop is jointly organised by the English Department of the University of Freiburg and the Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS) in Mannheim and, as a scoping workshop, designed to explore the major empirical, methodological and conceptual challenges facing our research community. Although the two organising institutions focus on English and German, corpus linguists working on other languages are explicitly invited to attend and contribute.

Venue: IDS, Mannheim, Germany Date: 10 – 11 July 2025
