Dates: 29-Aug-2016 - 03-Sep-2016
Location: São Pedro de Moel, Portugal

Focus: QwQ 2016 will provide a hands on introduction into turning collections into corpora, preparing and cleaning data for quantitative analysis and statistical software R data exploration.

Minimum Education Level: MA


Description:
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. In this summer school, a CIDLeS-ELDP event, participants will learn how
to turn their collections into corpora, to prepare and clean the data for
quantitative analysis, and to use statistical data exploration tools.

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.
