Proposals should be submitted by July 31st, 2024. Special Issue: Corpus linguistics: studies and applications The Brazilian Journal of Applied Linguistics, available at http://periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/rbla, is announcing a call for papers for the special issue on corpus studies and applications. In recent decades, corpus linguistics (CL) has grown significantly and has profoundly influenced our understanding of various languages by identifying linguistic patterns in natural texts. Moreover, CL has proven to be exceptionally versatile, finding applications in diverse contexts. Among these contexts, CL stands out in language teaching and learning, describing language used in professional communities (e.g., doctors, physicists, linguists), and investigating specialized registers (e.g., laws, news, literary texts) among others. For this special issue, we particularly welcome original articles on: ● New uses of corpus linguistics methods in Applied Linguistics ● Corpus linguistics applications for professional contexts and/or disciplinary studies ● Pedagogical applications of corpus linguistics ● Corpus analysis of genres ● Studies of linguistic variation in corpora ● Translation/interpretation studies informed by corpora ● Diachronic corpus studies ● Applications of corpus linguistics in gender studies ● Corpus studies in social media analysis ● Applications of corpus linguistics in artificial intelligence ● Stylistic corpus studies ● Other related topics in Applied Corpus Linguistics Editors: Deise Prina Dutra (Federal University of Minas Gerais), Ana Eliza Pereira Bocorny (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) and Vander Viana (University of Edinburgh) Chief Editor: Andréa Machado de Almeida Mattos (Federal University of Minas Gerais) The papers should be written in English and must strictly adhere to the guidelines established by the Brazilian Journal of Applied Linguistics (cf. http://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/rbla/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions). Submission Deadline: July 31st, 2024 Expected Publication: Starting in January, 2025 Instructions for authors are available at: http://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/rbla/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions Submissions should be made at: http://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/rbla/index For any questions and inquiries, please contact: andreamattosufmg@gmail.com or periodicosfaleufmg@gmail.com Sincerely, Deise Prina Dutra (Federal University of Minas Gerais) Ana Eliza Pereira Bocorny (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) Vander Viana (University of Edinburgh) (Organizers) Andréa Machado de Almeida Mattos (Federal University of Minas Gerais) Chief Editor

Universities and schools have central roles in teacher education. However, the relationship that prevails, many times, between these two educational institutions is asymmetrical and favors the status of the former (university) over the latter (school). We understand that this is a relationship of coloniality, following a colonial matrix of power based on binary structures, which continues to be reproduced even in the absence of colonial administration (Quijano, 2005; Grosfóguel, 2010). We argue for the need to challenge such a relationship, since, from a decolonial perspective, universities and schools are knowledge construction and praxis redefinition places. Therefore, we invite teachers and researchers in Applied Linguistics to reflect on the university-school relationship in language teacher education, submitting texts in English, Portuguese, or Spanish that discuss this topic.
