Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics.

Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics.
