Dates: 11-Aug-2014 - 15-Aug-2014
Location: Santa Barbara, California, USA
Focus: 5-day bootcamp on corpus linguistics
with R
Minimum Education Level: Undergraduate
Description:
The corpus bootcamp is a 30-hours hands-on
introduction to quantitative corpus linguistics
for both graduate students and seasoned
researchers. 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). The content of this
corpus linguistics bootcamp is based on Gries
(2009e) but (i) structured differently to
accommodate the workshop format of the
bootcamp, and (ii) provides functions and
examples not discussed in it.
