• Balance, size, distribution in corpora representativeness
• Spoken/multimodal vs written/textual corpora

Guidelines for submission:

Anonymous abstracts for 20-minute presentations (+ 8 minutes for questions) should include a title and a short bibliography. They should not exceed 500 words (exclusive of references, tables, and figures). They can be in English or in French.

Abstracts should clearly state the following:

• research question(s)
• approach(es)
• subfield (e.g. semantics, pragmatics, gesture studies, corpus linguistics, NLP, etc.) method(s)
• data
• expected or confirmed results.

Include three to five keywords specifying the (sub)field, the topic, and the approach.

Submit your abstract as a file via the "Submit" module on this website (left column). First you will need to create an account on sciencesconf.org, if you do not already have one, then click on “Submissions” then “Submit an abstract”. As usual, abstracts must be anonymous. No explicit reference to the author(s) is allowed. If you need help, let us know via the contact form. Each abstract will be double-blind peer reviewed. 

The deadline for all abstracts is December 8th, 2017. Notification of acceptance will be sent around January 10th, 2018.
