I Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics


December 13-14, 2018, Universitat de València

LingCor 2018

The 2018 LingCor Workshop is organised within the framework of a research project to produce the corpus “Parlars. Corpus Oral del Valencià Coloquial” (‘Languages. Spoken Corpus of colloquial Valencian’), funded by the Valencian Government (ref. GV/2017/094).

The first edition of the International Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics aims to be a forum for discussion among linguists working on a spoken corpus methodology. The conference focuses on the construction of text corpora (data collection, selection of informants, dialectal and sociolectal divisions, labelling and annotation of the corpus) as well as on the exploitation and corpus-based studies (phonetics, morphosyntax, semantics and pragmatics). Although proposals including all theoretical approaches and all the topics about oral corpus linguistics are accepted, the main topics are:
