    Corpus approaches to the language of literature

    CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

    ** Extended deadline for proposals: May 27th 2005 **

    A one-day pre-conference workshop
    Corpus Linguistics 2005
    14th July 2005
    Birmingham University, UK

    Workshop website: http://www.corpus.bham.ac.uk/conference/wynnecl2005.htm

    Organised by:
    Oxford Text Archive, PALA and AHDS Literature, Languages and Linguistics

    This workshop features two invited speakers on research at the interface
    between literary study and corpus linguistics:

      * Bill Louw (Harare) on collocation and semantic prosody in literature
    and in corpora;
      * Mick Short (Lancaster) on annotating stylistic features in corpora.

    Further contributions and papers are invited, to address one or more of
    the following issues:

      * corpus annotation and analysis of linguistic features in literary
    texts;
      * the study of literary effects in texts by using the evidence of
    language norms in a reference corpus, including the use of collocations,
    colligations and semantic prosody;
      * creativity in language, as identified or analysed with reference to
    corpus evidence;
      * theoretical and practical problems with the use of corpora in
    literary study;
      * resources and techniques for the study of literature using corpora.

    Proposals for papers to be presented at the workshop should be between
    250 and 500 words in length, and should be sent to
    martin.wynne@oucs.ox.ac.uk by the deadline of 27th May 2005.

    Papers will be assessed for inclusion on the basis of their relevance to
    the above topics. However, there will only be space in this short
    workshop for a maximum of 6 presentations. We hope to have many
    participants in addition to those who are giving papers, so please do
    not feel you have to submit a paper in order to attend. If you submit a
    paper and it is not accepted due to the time restrictions, we very much
    hope that you will still be able to attend and contribute to the
    discussion.

    This is a one-day workshop at the Corpus Linguistics 2005 (CL2005)
    conference. Conference registration is open at the CL2005 website at
    http://www.corpus.bham.ac.uk/conference/. Participants may register only
    for the workshop, but are encouraged to also register for the main
    conference, which will take place 15-17th July. Registration and
    accommodation is organised through the main conference administration.

    This workshop is supported by the Poetics and Linguistics Association
    (PALA - http://www.pala.ac.uk), the leading international association
    for stylistics, and is a PALA 25 anniversary event. It is organised by
    the Oxford Text Archive (http://ota.ox.ac.uk/), which hosts AHDS
    Literature, Languages and Linguistics (http://litlangling.ahds.ac.uk/).
    The Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) promotes good practice in

    research, and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and
