Web corpora and other Web-derived data have become a gold mine for corpus
linguistics and natural language processing. The Web is an easy source of
unprecedented amounts of linguistic data from a broad range of registers and
text types. However, a collection of Web pages is not immediately suitable for
exploration in the same way a traditional corpus is.

Since the first Web as Corpus Workshop organised at the Corpus Linguistics 2005
Conference, a highly successful series of yearly Web as Corpus workshops
provides a venue for interested researchers to meet, share ideas and discuss
the problems and possibilities of compiling and using Web corpora. After a
stronger focus on application-oriented natural language processing and Web
technology in recent years – with workshops taking place at NAACL-HLT 2010,
2011 and WWW 2012 – the 8th Web as Corpus Workshop returns to its roots in the
corpus linguistics community.

Accordingly, the leading theme of this workshop is the application of Web data
in language research, including linguistic evaluation of Web-derived corpora as
well as strategies and tools for high-quality automatic annotation of Web text.
The workshop brings together presentations on all aspects of building, using
and evaluating Web corpora, with a particular focus on the following topics:

\begin{itemize}
    \item applications of Web corpora and other Web-derived data sets for
        language research
    \item automatic linguistic annotation of Web data such as tokenisation,
        part-of-speech tagging, lemmatisation and semantic tagging
    \item (the accuracy of currently available off-the-shelf tools is still
        unsatisfactory for many types of Web data)
    \item critical exploration of the characteristics of Web data from a
        linguistic perspective and its applicability to language research
    \item presentation of Web corpus collection projects or software tools
        required for some part of this process (crawling, filtering,
        de-duplication, language identification, indexing, ...)
\end{itemize}
