    documents, linguistic and metalinguistic mark-up, as well as other subjects of
    the linguistic, programming, and management fields in corpora making. A special

    linguistic research and development of dedicated tools, primarily user-friendly
    corpus managers for linguistically informed search. Another focal point of the
    conference will be the co-ordination of research in corpus linguistics in Russia
    and formulation of standards in this domain. The speakers and other participants
