<dd>The workshop covers the basics of building language corpora
(collections of texts) and how to analyze them using simple software.
There will be hands-on opportunities to work with spoken, written, and
learner corpora. As well as receiving a theoretical outline, you will do
practical work with vocabulary and grammar frequency lists, concordances,
keyword lists, collocations, etc.). You will see a demonstration and be
able to use the new CALPER GOLD software (Graphic Online Language
Diagnostic) where you can build and analyze your own corpus.<br><br>
