This is the website for the BAAL Corpus Linguistics Special Interest Group. This is a group set up within BAAL in 2003, by applied linguists with a special interest in the uses of corpora and of corpus methodologies within applied linguistic research.
The SIG was formed in late 2003. The SIG will hold at least two meetings a year: one at the BAAL Annual Meeting in September of each year, and the other at some time in the spring. The most recent meeting was held at the Open University, on 28th April 2006 - click here for the Call for Papers.
The committee is:
Convenor – Paul Thompson
Treasurer – Tilly Harrison
Communications Secretary – Fiona Barker
Meetings Coordinator – Hilary Nesi
