New Horizons in Linguistics

A one-day symposium
Thursday 20th September, 2007 from 10:30am  till 5:30pm
Oxford e-Research Centre, 7 Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3QG
 
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
 
Across the Sciences and the Humanities, the emerging e-Science agenda is 
set to transform how researchers do their work, how they collaborate, 
how they share data, how they report their findings, and what 
infrastructure they require.
 
This one-day symposium at the University of Oxford aims to bring 
researchers in linguistics and applied linguistics together with leading 
proponents of e-Science research in the UK to discuss the potential for 
new forms of advanced ICT research in linguistics and related areas.
 
This event is organised by the 'Digital Record' node of the National 
Centre for e-Social Science, the Oxford e-Research Centre, the Oxford 
Text Archive, the School of English Studies at the University of 
Nottingham, and the Arts and Humanities Data Service.
 
Researchers from all areas of linguistics and applied linguistics are 
invited to attend the symposium. There is no cost to attend, but you are 
requested to register in advance, by Friday 14th September 2007. Please 
email your name and institution (as you would like it to appear on a 
badge) to [log in to unmask], with the subject line 'New Horizons in 
Linguistics'. Lunch will be provided free of charge to registered 
participants.
 
CALL FOR SHORT POSITION PAPERS
 
We would also like to invite the submission of short position papers in 
which researchers can describe current or proposed research, or 
problems, which make use of Grid infrastructures, methods or 
technologies. Please send a short (250 word) summary of your paper. 
There will be a session at the symposium for 15 minute presentations of 
the papers, plus time for questions and discussion. Please send 
summaries to [log in to unmask] Please note that there will be 
very limited space on the program for these presentations, and it is
