Welcome to ICAME

ICAME is an international group of linguists and data scientists working with English language corpora. The organization was founded in 1977 in Oslo, Norway, originally under the name of International Computer Archive of Modern English. The first “conference” was a symposium with 37 participants from 10 different countries held in 1979. Since then, the yearly ICAME conferences have grown into much bigger events, welcoming new members and long-term ICAMErs alike.


The sad news have reached us that our colleague Bengt Altenberg has passed away peacefully in the night from December 28 to 29. He will be well known to you as a corpus linguist and an ardent ICAMEr, who attended multiple ICAME conferences up to ICAME 2012 in Leuven.

Anna, Hilde, Markéta and Denisa dedicated their edited volume of papers from ICAME42 to him and Karin Aijmer for their pioneering work on behalf of contrastive corpus linguistics

Our thoughts are with his family and close friends.
