[Corpora-List] Bootcamp: 'Quantitative Corpus Linguistics with R'

[Stefan Th. Gries]

After the success of this summer's bootcamp, I am happy to announce
the second "Bootcamp: Quantitative Corpus Linguistics with R" (and it
still doesn't necessarily feature collocations ...)

Date: 09-Aug-2010 - 15-Aug-2010
Location: Denton, TX, USA

Meeting URL: http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/faculty/stgries/teaching/bootcamp/index.html

Meeting Description:
This bootcamp/workshop is a hands-on introduction to quantitative
corpus linguistics for both graduate students and seasoned
researchers. Using the open source software tool and programming
language R, participants will learn

- how to generate frequency lists;
- how to search for words and patterns;
- how to handle corpora and perform corpus-linguistic searches in ways
that typical corpus software does not support;
- how to carry out basic statistical evaluations of corpus data
(significance tests and statistical graphs).

Data to be dealt with include plain text corpora, corpora with SGML or
XML annotation, chat files from CHILDES, Unicode files. Case studies
involve examples from morphology, syntax, semantics, first and second
language acquisition, among other things. Statistical tests to be
introduced include tests for frequencies, means, and distributions.
For more information on scheduling, accommodation, pricing, etc.,
