The Centre for English Corpus Linguistics has organized several international conferences and workshops on learner corpora, contrastive linguistics, phraseology and lexicography.

It has also organized summer schools on learner corpus research, with the aim of introducing learner corpus research through a series of lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions, and showing how the challenges it presents can be met.

In July 2025, it organized a conference on Register and task variation in Learner corpus research. In 2026, it will host again Stefan Gries’s bootcamp on statistics for linguistics with R

The CECL will also take part in the organization of the BAAHE conference.

We are delighted to invite you to the 2026 BAAHE conference, which will take place on Friday 27 November at the UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve). 

The Belgian Association of Anglicists in Higher Education (BAAHE) unites scholars affiliated to Belgian higher education institutions from all fields within English Studies, ranging from cultural studies over linguistics and literary studies to translation, interpreting, and ELT studies. 

Voice is multifaceted. Not only is it connected with the sounds we make when we speak in one or more language varieties but also with the way we express ourselves and our opinions. Voice also encompasses agency, involvement, empowerment, authorship and creativity. Our voice makes it possible for us to be heard and acknowledged, to express our unique identity and our sense of belonging to one or more groups, to interact with others, to tell and create stories, to speak up and stand up for our rights and beliefs. We can find our voice, choose to speak with one voice, give someone a voice or keep our voice down. Our voice can also be ignored and silenced.   

The 2026 edition of BAAHE proposes to explore the theme “Human and Human‑like Voices” across the various disciplines within English studies. The theme is particularly topical at a time when machine translation and generative artificial intelligence are blurring the boundaries between human expression and machine‑generated speech and discourse. The emphasis on voice also takes on special significance in our increasingly politically polarised times as it draws our attention to whose voices are heard and represented or silenced in research, the media, literary work, teaching materials and official or workplace documents for example.
