Corpus Linguistics
Corpus Linguistics in the South
The idea for a series of 'Corpus Linguistics in the South' events came out of the Birmingham 2011 conference where a group of us were reflecting on how the majority of events tend to happen in the north or the Midlands. So, this represents an attempt to redress the balance a little, to facilitate networking amongst corpus linguists in the south, and perhaps to tempt other corpus linguists south for a change! The events are intended to be as open and inclusive as possible and to reflect this we have so far managed to maintain a no-fees policy on the meetings. If you would like to know more, feel free to contact Charlotte Taylor or just check this site for updates and events.
