>Friday 10th July 2015, University of Nottingham (UK)

>Plenary Speaker: Paul Baker (Lancaster University)

>Recent research in corpus linguistics is pushing the boundaries of the
>discipline towards more and more interdisciplinary applications. Although
>used originally by linguists alone, CL methods are now being embraced by
>researchers working in an ever-widening range of academic disciplines.
>Spurred on by growing recognition of the utility of such methods for
>providing unprecedented and unpredictable insights into how language is
>used in the real world, students and established scholars alike are now
>adopting CL approaches to answer questions in an array of subjects,
>including the social sciences, literary studies, education, psychology,
>translation studies, the health sciences, and many, many more.
>
>This one-day symposium accords with this burgeoning enthusiasm for
>interdisciplinary research and aims to showcase innovative applications
>of corpus linguistics beyond its traditional boundaries. Papers are
>invited for this symposium. We are particularly looking for contributions
>that (i) embrace interdisciplinarity and (ii) illustrate such
>interactions through specific analysis.
