The International Conference on Corpus Linguistics (JLC), founded by Geoffrey Williams in 2001 at the University of South Brittany, Lorient, France, regularly draws together an interdisciplinary community whose research focus is corpus linguistics. After seven gatherings in Lorient and an interlude in Orleans in 2015 (8th International Conference on Corpus Linguistics), the conference alighted in Grenoble in early July 2017, organized by the LIDILEM Laboratory with contributions from LIG, ILCEA4, Litt&Arts and the MSH-Alpes. Université Grenoble Alpes is honored to host this international conference again from November 26th to November 28th 2019.
The objective of JLC'19 is to (re)unite a community that adopts various approaches, be they methodological or disciplinary, to promote corpus linguistics, and to contribute to the evolution of practices in the field by building bridges between different approaches to digital corpora. The participants are invited to share and compare their knowledge of tools, experiences, and findings.
In the tradition of previous conferences, the JLC in Grenoble will offer three days of presentations, guest speakers and discussion sessions among the participants. Training sessions on tools and methods will be organized over a half day.
Expected contributions, based on written, oral or multimodal corpora, may relate to, but are not limited to:
1. Linguistic approaches to corpora
2. Methods and tools
3. Variations, genres, and discourse
4. Applications and uses of corpora for teaching and learning, translation, terminology...
Guest speakers include: Mireille Bilger (Université de Perpignan), Hilari Nesi (Coventry University)
Submissions for a presentation or a demonstration in French or English should not exceed three pages (excluding figures and bibliographic references) and must be anonymous. They will get double peer-reviewing by members of the scientific board. JLC2019 will adopt the SciencesConf system to manage communication proposals. In addition to classic presentations, you may also propose a demonstration (identical submission guidelines).
The final version of the accepted abstracts, due for September 16th, is three-page long plus a one-page list of bibliographic references. It follows one of the style sheets avalaible following this link.
Publication: following the colloquium, authors are welcome to submit an article. This collection of articles will be reviewed and published online.
