Currently, insights are not fully shared, as the subfields and related disciplines often present research at different conferences. For this full-day GURT pre-session, 20-minute papers are solicited on the following topics: - the design and collection of text/speech corpora - tools for searching and processing on-line corpora - critical assessments of on-line corpora and corpus-processing tools - methodological issues in corpus-based analysis - applications and results in linguistics and related disciplines, including language teaching, computational linguistics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, and stylistic analysis Send 1 page (500-word) abstracts to cball@guvax.georgetown.edu (Internet), cball@guvax (Bitnet), or Catherine N. Ball, Dept. of Linguistics, Georgetown University, Washington DC 20057. Electronic submissions are encouraged. Please include name, institution, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is Dec. 1, 1992.
