摘要：A warm and sunny Freiburg provided the pleasant back-drop for the 20th
ICAME conference, especially appreciated by those ICAMErs who hail from
more northerly regions. The scenic old town is certainly worth several sight-seeing
tours and a first opportunity for orientation was given to the ICAMErs with
organized walking tours of the campus and the city centre on the day of arrival.
Other enjoyable social and cultural activities were to follow, but the main attraction
was of course the academic programme with a variety of stimulating presentations,
which were united by the over-arching motto of ‘Corpus Linguistics
and Linguistic Theory’.
