Dr Laura Bailey, from the Department of English Language & Linguistics, has been selected to take part in a British Council Researcher Links workshop in Campinas, Brazil.

The Researcher Links programme by the British Council is designed to give early career researchers across 20 countries the opportunity to form international connections through fully funded workshops and travel grants.

The workshop, ‘The New Historical Linguistics and the World of Annotated Corpora’, addresses the fast-paced development of new techniques for investigating languages of the past.

Exciting new advances in corpus technology allow us to learn more than ever before, and this workshop will establish long-term collaborations and enable early-career researchers to meet and learn from experienced researchers in this field.

The workshop runs from 9-13 March 2015 at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (the University of Campinas or UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil.
