ARENA ROMANISTICA

Corpus and text linguistics in Romance languages

Department of Romance Studies, University of Bergen, Norway

Call for Papers

Established late 2005, Arena Romanistica aims to be a refereed and regularly published journal focusing on the current research in the Romance languages, notably French, Spanish and Italian. Its main areas of focus are linguistic, literary and cultural studies.
We hereby invite you to submit papers to the first issue of Arena Romanistica. The papers should reflect upon current research in the field of corpus and text linguistics in Romance languages. 
The tools of corpus linguistics represent a growing field in linguistics. Not only do they offer insights of the current state of the Romance languages but also valuable methodological and theoretical advances for linguistics in general. 
Papers should preferably be written in French although we will consider Italian, Spanish and English submissions. 
Deadline for submission of papers:  1st October 2006.

Papers will be reviewed anonymously by a panel of peer reviewers and will be accepted on the basis of their academic quality.
