We would like to draw your attention to some events coming up in 2007 
which welcome contributions related to corpora and literature. Following 
on from the successful workshop at CL2005, we propose to organise a 
colloquium for the Corpus Linguistics 2007 conference, and welcome 
contributions from interested participants.

** Colloquium at CL2007: Corpus approaches to the language of literature **
Birmingham
27-30 July 2007
http://www.corpus.bham.ac.uk/conference2007/

This will be a themed session in the main program of the conference on 
corpus approaches to the language of literature. To make this proposal, 
I need to submit the full program of the colloquium to the conference 
organisers by December 15th. I would therefore like to ask you to submit 
to me abstracts by December 8th. I'll let you all know by December 12th 
which ones will go into the colloquium proposal, on the basis of which 
ones fit together the best to make a coherent colloquium. Any not 
selected may be submitted directly to the main conference call.

Please send abstracts to [log in to unmask] by December 8th 2007. Sorry 
about the short notice for this. If you can send us a draft abstract by 
the 8th December, you can get another opportunity to refine the text 
before the 15th.
