Workshop Description:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Over recent years, research into the Arabic language using corpora and corpus methods has moved from a small scale activity with isolated pockets of activity to a much larger very active field, with work advancing rapidly on many different fronts in both corpus and computational linguistics. Previously, we organised the 2011 and 2013 Workshops on Arabic Corpus Linguistics WACL-1 and WACL-2, with the second edition being held in conjunction with 2013 Corpus Linguistics Conference at Lancaster University. We now continue working on creating a venue where different activities in corpus research into Arabic can be brought together to explore progress in the field by continuing the WACL series through organising the 3rd Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics (WACL-3) at the CL2019 conference at Cardiff University.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scope of the workshop encompasses both (a) the design, construction and annotation of Arabic corpora, and (b) the use of corpora in research on the Arabic language – in areas including lexis and lexicography, syntax, collocation, stylistics, and discourse analysis, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems and analysis tools. The workshop will pay special attention to non-standard Arabic varieties, Arabic dialects as well as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).<\/span><\/p>\n

The workshop is planned as a full day event including a keynote talk, oral and poster presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Call for papers:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We invite full papers submissions for the full-day <\/span>Third Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics<\/b>, to be held in conjunction with the Corpus Linguistics 2019 conference in Cardiff, Wales. Following on from the\u00a0<\/span>successful First and Second <\/span>WACL<\/span> in 2011<\/a><\/span>, and 2013<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The aim of this series of workshops is to create a venue for exploring progress in the field of research into the Arabic language variations using corpora, from across the many areas of corpus linguistics and computational linguistics where the analysis of Arabic structure and usage is an active issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scope of the workshop encompasses both (a) the design, construction and annotation of Arabic corpora, and (b) the use of corpora in research on the Arabic language \u2013 in any relevant area, including (but not limited to!) lexis and lexicography, syntax, collocation, NLP systems and analysis tools, contrastive and historical studies, stylistics, and discourse analysis. All varieties of Arabic \u2013 including the different Colloquial and Dialectical Arabic as well as Classical\/Qur\u2019anic and Modern Standard forms of the language \u2013 are within the workshop’s purview.<\/span><\/p>\n

Papers for presentations are invited on any of these areas, or on any other topic related to the study of Arabic-language corpora. Presentations either describing finished research or reporting work in progress are welcome. Submissions from postgraduate students are especially welcome. Dual submissions should be disclosed at time of submission.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Submissions Guidelines:<\/b><\/p>\n

submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions may consist of no less than four (4) and up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited references.<\/span><\/p>\n
