Focus: In conjunction with the Corpus Linguistics 2017 Conference, the Centre for Corpus Research is organizing a 5-day summer school in Corpus Linguistics, from 17 to 21 July 2017. It is open to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students, as well as researchers who want to improve their skills to apply corpus methods in their own research. Our Corpus Linguistics Summer School aims to equip participants with critical expertise in both theory and practice of corpus-based linguistic research. Over the course of five days, participants will be actively involved in two kinds of sessions. First, hands-on sessions will put the emphasis on the learning of practical skills for the purpose of extracting, annotating, and analysing corpus data of various kinds, and the application of this knowledge to specific research projects. Second, participants will also learn about current corpus-based research from our local staff of corpus linguists.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum
Description:
Topics of sessions will broadly include:
- Corpus tools and specialized software (WordSmith)
- Collocations and patterns
- Statistics in corpus linguistics
- Annotation of corpus data
- Exploratory data analysis
Registration will open within the next few weeks. More information is available on our webpage:
