Removal of SIGWAC

After several attempts to elect new officers and a last reminder sent on 4 November 2022, ACL was asked to terminate SIGWAC as of 5 November 2022. This page serves as a postmortem archive of SIGWAC's activities from 2005–2020. There are also ​several snapshots at archive.org.

Objectives

  • to promote interest in the use of the web as a source of linguistic data, and as an object of study in its own right;
  • to provide members of the ACL with a special interest in the web-as-corpus with a means of exchanging news of recent research developments and other matters of interest;
  • to sponsor meetings and workshops on the web as corpus that appear to be timely and worthwhile.
