Title: BYU Corpus of American English
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-586.html The 360+ million word ''BYU Corpus of American English'' (1990-2007), is freely available online (http://www.americancorpus.org). New texts will be added at least two times each year from this point on (20 million new words each year; 4 million words in each of the five genres), and it will thus serve as a unique linguistic history of American English since 1990. The interface is the same as the interface for the 100 million word British National Corpus and 100 million word TIME Magazine corpus (see http://corpus.byu.edu ) Due to copyright and licensing issues, the corpus is not available in full-text form. Rather, as with BYU’s interface to the BNC and TIME, all access will be via the web interface, which allows full frequency and distributional charts, and limited KWIC displays (up to 100 words per entry) . Access the corpus at http://www.americancorpus.org .

Title: New Publication: Teaching German Modal Particles
Body: Teaching German Modal Particles: A Corpus-based Approach by Nina Vyatkina and Karen E. Johnson CALPER Publications Description: Teaching German Modal Particles: A Corpus-based Approach offers an approach to the challenges of teaching the usage of modal particles to learners of German that emphasizes awareness raising activities. The worksheets and handouts are sequenced to move learners through a gradual process of inductively noticing patterns of modal particle use, to defining modal particle meanings and usages, to analyzing modal particle use in context, and finally, to deductively using modal particles in extended communicative interactions. All worksheets are followed by answer keys which offer additional explanations about appropriate modal particle usage. The materials have been created on the basis of a collection of authentic communicative computer-mediated interactions that took place between L2 learners of German and native speakers of German. Teaching German Modal Particles: A Corpus-based Approach is intended for high-intermediate and advanced levels of proficiency and can be used as supplemental materials in a variety of college/university courses.

Title: Call for Papers: Cambridge Symposium on Middle Eastern Studies
Body: Call for Papers: Cambridge Symposium on Middle Eastern Studies: Knowledge and Language in Middle Eastern Societies 18-19 October, 2008 The University of Cambridge, Department of Middle Eastern Studies, invites papers to be presented at its international symposium on Knowledge and Language in Middle Eastern Societies. Papers can range from classical to contemporary times and are encouraged to be in - but not limited to - the fields of: 1. Language and identity: What is the role of language in shaping identity? To what extent is language a political tool? What socio-political phenomena are reflected in media and literary language? 2. Linguistic and literary analysis: What can be learnt about societies from linguistic aspects such as grammar and syntax? What does comparative literature tell us about cultural interactions? How does the socio-linguistic approach contribute to our understanding of political, economic and social milieus? 3. Transmission and classification of knowledge: How do secular and religious hermeneutics and pedagogy shape the ways in which tradition is understood? How do translations formulate or modify our perceptions of the other? How do classifications of knowledge affect curricula and other aspects of educational systems? 4. Production and distribution of religious and secular ideas: What is the interaction between religious and secular spheres in knowledge production? How do epistemological notions such as secrecy, openness and knowledge gradation facilitate or restrict distribution? How does the process of acculturation influence formation and dispersion of ideas? Abstracts should be sent by email to Yoni Mendel (yym20@cam.ac.uk) latest by 28th March, 2008. Submissions should be up to 300 words in MS Word or PDF format, and should include your name, affiliation and academic institution. Applicants will be notified about the outcome of the selection process on the 28th May 2008. Each speaker will be allotted 20 minutes for the presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions.
