The school caters to advanced MA and PhD students already working on CMC topics. Its aims are as follows: 1) To discuss cutting edge theoretical literature on methodologies in CMC/CMD (there will be a reading list). 2) To provide students with a set of tools to aid them in the preparation and analysis of CMC data. 3) To give students a chance to introduce their own research projects and discuss methodological challenges (with both other students and staff). A reading list with central theoretical literature will be provided closer to the time. Teaching methods will be a combination of input presentations, hands-on workshops and feedback sessions. Our teachers are: Daniel Alcón, University of Freiburg Jannis Androutsopoulos, University of Hamburg Michael Beisswenger, University of Dortmund Brook Bolander, University of Basel Andreas H.
