<b>About the Summer School</b><br>
Over the past 15 years linguists have been collecting language
documentation data of endangered languages. The exploration and
analysis of the collections have resulted in grammars and
publications of linguistic phenomena. More and more linguists
would like to explore the power of a quantitative analysis of
specific phenomena. While statistic and corpus mining courses
are offered in many places, focused courses in corpus
development and statistical exploration taking the specific
problems of small or skewed collections into account are rare.
This summer school, a CIDLeS-ELDP event, will provide a hands on
introduction into turning collections into corpora, preparing
and cleaning data for quantitative analysis and, for instance,
statistical software R data exploration.<br>
<br>
Participants are expected to have already collected data and
have specific questions they would like to explore. The courses
will provide theoretical introductions into the respective area
and hands on practice sessions in which the participants will
prepare and analyze their own data set.
<p>The number of participants is limited to 25. The minimum
number of participants is 15.<br>
