will be an opportunity for people with some experience of Sketch Engine
to see and try out some more advanced features, and also to ask any
questions, particular of the 'How do I do X?' variety. As with most
software, most users are only aware of a small fraction of what the
software offers, and find it rewarding to have their repertoire
extended. My usual experience with workshops of this kind is that
there are many instances of wide-eyed looks which say "Ah, so THAT is
how you do that!" Come prepared with any queries or reports you want to
be able to do, but are not sure how, and we'll work out how together in
the workshop.</span></p>

workshop will introduce EXMARaLDA ("Extensible Markup Language for
Discourse Annotation"), a system of concepts, data formats, and tools
for the computer assisted transcription and annotation of spoken
language, and for the construction and analysis of spoken language
corpora.<br>During the workshop three related tools will be introduced:
(1) the Partitur Editor - a tool for inputting, editing, and outputting
transcriptions in partitur (musical score) notation, (2) the Corpus
Manager (CoMa) which is designed to merge transcripts created with the
Partitur Editor with their corresponding recordings into corpora and to
enrich them with metadata, and (3) the query tool EXAKT ("EXMARaLDA
Analysis and Concordancing Tool") for searching transcribed and
annotated phenomena in an EXMARaLDA corpus.<br>After a brief
introduction, the participants will have the chance to gain some
practical experience with the tools. The focus will presumably be on the
transcription and annotation of audio and/or video data in the Partitur
Editor so please feel free to bring along your own data for testing.<br>To find out more about EXMARaLDA visit <a href="http://www.exmaralda.org/en_index.html" target="_blank"><span style="COLOR: blue">http://www.exmaralda.org/en_index.html</span></a></span></p>

workshop is intended for corpus users with little or no knowledge of
the Unix command line who would like to extend their repertoire of
searching, sorting, and synthesizing techniques beyond those that are
available through the standard corpus-query software packages
(SketchEngine, AntConc, Wordsmith, etc). The workshop will be divided
into three phases:</span></p>

most useful Unix commands for corpus linguists: cat, grep, sed, sort,
uniq (We will chain some of these together to create a customized word
list with frequencies) . Some of these commands are integrated into the
standard packages but by using them at the command line their range and
flexibility can be greatly extended. This part of the workshop will also
include a discussion of regular expressions.</span></p>

is hoped to be able to demonstrate a simple Unix shellscript (program)
which will convert batches of .doc and .pdf files to .txt , to aid
participants in building their own corpora. This tool will be available
to take away (or to be sent by email) at the end of the workshop.</span></p>
