Call for papers for the next issue of CORPUS: “Corpus Syntax”.

CORPUS is an international journal, published once a year in a paper version as well as in a free online version (six months later). Its articles are reviewed by a scientific committee.

CORPUS investigates all the aspects of corpus linguistics: theoretical, epistemological, and methodological, whatever linguistic field and language.

The successive issues of the journal aim at developing an in-depth reflection on the role corpora hold in contemporary linguistic research along with a reflexive analysis on the collection and implementation of the mentioned corpora.

Concomitantly, the heuristic processes uniting the gathering and the structuring of empirical data on the one hand, and the emergence or the validation of the linguistic hypotheses on the other hand, are also sought to be evaluated and made explicit.

The previous issues are available at: http://corpus.revues.org/

The articles can be written in French, English, and possibly in Spanish or Italian.

The aim of this issue is to promote syntactic and morpho-syntactic research based on the study of corpora (whatever field of application), to highlight its peculiarities and to consider its consequences on the theory (confirmation or invalidation of certain hypotheses, new proposals).
