Grammar and Corpora 2016 - Marek Konopka - Bog

In recent years, the availability of large annotated corpora, together with a new
interest in the empirical foundation and validation of linguistic theory and
description, has sparked a surge of novel work using corpus methods to study the
grammar of natural languages. This volume presents recent developments and advances,
firstly, in corpus-oriented grammar research with a special focus on Germanic,
Slavic, and Romance languages and, secondly, in corpus linguistic methodology as
well as the application of corpus methods to grammar-related fields. The volume
results from the sixth international conference "Grammar and Corpora 2016" (GaC
2016), which took place at the Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim,
Germany, in November 2016. The editors of this volume are researchers at the IDS and
were organisers of "Grammar and Corpora 20162.
