This 2½ day Workshop is designed to introduce teachers, computational linguists, and lexicographers to the concept of ‘Pattern Grammar’ (Hunston and Francis 1999) and to develop ideas about how PG might be used in a variety of fields.
Places on the Workshop are limited to 30, to allow full participation. Priority will be given to professionals involved in language teaching, text annotation, lexicography and translation.
