Corpus Annotation and Data Analysis (CAnDA) -- An Equinox School @ Gauss's Observatory

Host Institution: University of Göttingen, Germany
Coordinating Institution: University of Göttingen, Germany
Website: https://spw.uni-goettingen.de/stud/school22/

Dates: 19-Sep-2022 - 30-Sep-2022
Location: Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany

Focus: The summer school focusses on corpus linguistics, annotation and data analysis. The courses of this summer school are addressed to master students and PhD students of linguistics.
Minimum Education Level: BA

Description:
Liŋ'G (Linguistics in Göttingen) and the research training group Form-Meaning
Mismatches organize a Summer School on core areas of empirical research in
linguistics, corpus annotations, and data analysis. Special emphasis is given
to practical experience in the use of analytical and technical tools.

Building corpora and using corpus data is a core skill, whether the goal is to
analyze historical change or diatopic and other kinds of synchronic variation.
The lecturers at this summer school introduce a range of cutting-edge
techniques and methodologies to help students deal with previously constructed
corpora and, crucially, to enable them to build their own. Issues such as the
semi-automatic annotation of POS and syntactic structures, the annotation of
information structure using the QUD-tree framework, and the BERT
machine-learning technique for NLP are covered. Moreover, data types of
emerging importance such as sign language and geolocal variation from
social-media will be discussed.

Once corpora and other data collections are assembled, data analysis can
begin. The summer school will provide students with foundational knowledge in
using statistical tests to analyze data from linguistic experiments and corpus
studies. Central statistical tools such as R, RStudio and tidyverse will be
introduced, providing the groundwork for understanding statistical modeling,
with an emphasis on the linear model framework. Other core issues will be the
visualization of linguistic data and the core dynamics of eye-tracking
methodology.

Linguistic Field(s): Text/Corpus Linguistics

ling.summerschool.2022[guess!]gmail.com containing:

Applicants are kindly asked to send us 
   1. a short CV (max 1 page) detailing your specialization within your
linguistic studies, and
   2. an abstract of 300 words summarizing a research talk or a poster
presentation that you would be willing to present during the workshop of the
summer school (to take place on 23-24.09, "Corpus annotation and data
analysis"). 
Advanced students (e.g., PhD students) can offer a presentation of their
ongoing research or their current results. Students that do not yet have
results are invited to give a poster presentation on a topic of interest that
is related to the title of this workshop and may summarize the research that
they envisage to do for their MA or PhD thesis.
