Using the open source software and programming language R, we will learn: - How to generate frequency lists and search for words and patterns; - How to process corpora and perform corpus-linguistic searches in ways that typical corpus software does not support; - How to write small functions for recurrent corpus-linguistic tasks. Data to be dealt with include plain text corpora, corpora with SGML or XML annotation, ICE-GB files, and others. The participants will also get small functions and scripts they can use for their own corpus-linguistic tasks (concordancing, generating n-grams of words or characters, and others).
