SKEW-3; 3rd International Sketch Engine Workshop

Weds-Thurs 21-22 March 2012, Brno, Czech Republic

The event is an opportunity for advanced users of the Sketch Engine and others interested in corpus NLP and corpus lexicography to keep abreast of new functionality, compare notes on how the tool can be used to greatest effect, and to discuss problems and possibilities with the development team. It follows on from successful events in  Brighton, UK (2011) and  Ljubljana, Slovenia (2010). Again, we anticipate a programme of roughly half submitted papers and half presentations from the Sketch Engine team.

The venue will be  Hotel Continental Brno. For more information about Brno, see  www.brno.cz. For accommodation options, see e.g.  http://www.brnohotels.cz/.
