<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>
