> Dear all
>
> The 8th Brazilian Corpus Linguistics Conference (www.corpuslg.org/
> elc) will take place next week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and one of
> the topics we'd like to discuss in the closing round table is the
> possibility of setting up a Latin American Association for Corpus
> Linguistics (LAACL). This would help strengthen the field in LA by
> fostering communication between corpus linguists in the continent.
> One of the concrete outcomes of such an organization would be
> hosting a Latin American conference on corpus linguistics, from time
> to time. Of course, the round table will not have a final say on
> this -- we just want to get the ball rolling; if people have
> discussed this in other venues, please let me know as well.
>
> How do LA corpus linguists feel about this?

> Thank you ahead.
