call for papers
There will be a pre-conference workshop on learner corpora on March 25th (2010). Studying non-native English with corpora raises interesting issues as to the transferability of the concept of interlanguage for the phonological competence of learners. We invite presentations of existing databases or projects under way addressing some of these issues :
- - speech corpora or spoken corpora for learners?
- - longitudinal studies and protocols
- - databases and querying interface
- - annotation layers and tools
- - POS tagging and "error" tagging
- - interlanguage studies, performances and phonological competence
The workshop will consist of longer talks and discussions (30 min. + 30 min.). The workshop will be videoconferenced through the (free) EVO system and talks from distant universities are welcome (Paris local time 10-18).
Anonymous abstracts for the pre-conference workshop should be sent by Feb. 1st to
(300 words maximum plus separate page giving personal details).
Technical details about the workshop:
- Speakers may attend the workshop "virtually", broadcasting their talks from their home universities, using the free JAVA-based system EVO, to be downloaded from http://evo.caltech.edu
- on-line tutorials for EVO:
http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/videosTutorials.jsp
- Get in touch for tests or informal talk about the system.
- EVO tests will take place in advance and a rehearsal is planned on March 23rd, 10 00 AM (Paris local time)
