The International Conference will be held at the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication of University of Valencia, in May 2019 (15-17).

The Spanish Association for Corpus Linguistics (AELINCO) and the Organising Committee (members of the English Philology Area of ​​the Department de Filologia Anglesa i Alemanya and IULMA) welcome you to participate in the XI International Conference on Corpus Linguistics (CILC2019), which will be held at the Facultat de Filologia, Traducció i Comunicació of Universitat de València(València, Spain), in May 2019 (15-17). The theme for this new edition will beCorpus Approaches to Discourse Analysis.

Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) has become firmly established as a research area, with a large number of publications, developments and researchers who have adopted it as a paradigm.  It would not be risky to state that both Discourse Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis have been enriched thanks to Corpus Linguistics, on many occasions through methodological synergies. It is our hope that CILC2019 becomes an ideal forum where researchers can discuss how Corpus resources, approaches or methodologies can help scholars in the analysis of discourse in any language.

We are also pleased to announce that the following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation in CILC2019:

• Tony McEnery (Lancaster University)
