Salos 2024 summer school: Linguistic data from fieldwork to R

Host Institution: Vilnius University
Website: https://www.academiasalensis.org/en/conference-and-summer-sch
ool/2024-summer-school/

Dates: 22-Jul-2024 - 26-Jul-2024
Location: Salos

Focus: Our courses are tailored primarily to PhD students while
remaining open to advanced MA and Postdocs as well as senior scholars.
Lecturers will assign preparatory reading to participants.
The curriculum of Salos 2024 should be attractive to linguists
interested in collecting and analysing natural language data. The
courses offer fundamental tools for working with linguistic data
applicable to any linguistic inquiry. Therefore, we welcome
participants from all frameworks of theoretical linguistics.
Minimum Education Level: BA / MA

Description:
Linguists from different theoretical frameworks strive to ground and
test their hypotheses using empirical data from natural languages.
This raises the need for sound methodological foundations underlying
every step of the research process. Academia Grammaticorum Salensis
Vigesima Prima adopts a practical approach and aspires to encompass
the data processing pipeline from raw data collected in the fieldwork
setting to quantitative results. The summer school is designed to
equip participants, primarily PhD students, with the essential tools
for conducting data-driven research, focusing on critical phases that
are seldom integrated into a single cohesive workflow: fieldwork, data
collection (various types and formats), data processing and
annotation, and statistical analysis.

The curriculum of the summer school emulates the journey of linguistic
data from field to R (the programming language and statistics software
often used by linguists), and is structured to guide participants
systematically through the initial practical stages of the research
process:

1. Linguistic Fieldwork. Lecturer: dr. Maria Khachaturyan, University
of Helsinki
2. Data annotation. Lecturer: dr. Alena Witzlack-Makarevich, the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
3. Quantitative methods. Lecturer: dr. Steven Moran, Université de
Neuchâtel

Participants of the linguistic fieldwork course will have the
possibility to get some hands-on experience with data collection,
which will also be made use of in the subsequent courses. The summer
school places significant emphasis on the coherence between the three
courses, achieved through resurfacing topics, the same exemplary case
studies and data sets, facilitated by the collaborative efforts of the
course lecturers.

Every day at the summer school will end with a group tutoring session.
Here, participants will have a chance to raise questions and engage in
discussions on the most challenging parts of the courses, guided by an
experienced colleague.

Another distinctive feature of the summer school is its integration
with the Salos Linguistics Conference which will be held on the last
day of the Summer School. Participants will have the opportunity to
submit a poster for the dedicated poster session held within the
conference. They are also welcome to submit an abstract for the
Academia Grammaticorum Salensis conference and will be considered
alongside other applicants for a talk, or can attend the conference as
attendees without a presentation.
