    PALC 2003 (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN LANGUAGE CORPORA)
    (Department of English Language, Lodz University)

    FIRST CIRCULAR AND CALL FOR PAPERS

    AIMS
    The Department of English Language at Lodz University plans to hold the 4th
    international conference devoted to PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN LANGUAGE
    CORPORA. The general topic of the conference is the relationship between
    language corpora and their uses in a range of language and linguistic
    fields. Our aim is to provide a forum for practical exemplifications of
    language corpora (written and spoken) in action and a forum for fruitful
    interaction between scholars. Hopefully, such a conference will act as a
    stimulus to teaching, and to scholarly and critical research.

    April) at the Lodz University Conference Centre. We expect approximately 100

    linguistics and related fields to be plenary speakers. Their names will be
