[Corpora-List] Summer School on Learner Corpus Research

[Sylviane Granger]

>>From 8 to 12 September 2014, the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics
(University of Louvain, Belgium) will be organising a 

 

Summer School on Learner Corpus Research: Corpus approaches to phraseology

 

The aim of the Summer School is to introduce learner corpus research through
a series of lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions, with a particular
focus on phraseology, i.e. the study of word combinations and its links with
grammar and discourse. 

 

The Summer School is intended both for researchers who have recently
embarked on a learner corpus project and those who simply want to know more
about this exciting field of research.

 

It will take place at the University of Louvain (UCL), in the elegant and
modern city of Louvain-la-Neuve, 30 km south of Brussels. The number of
participants is limited to 30. 

 

Course director: Sylviane Granger, Professor of English Language and
Linguistics, Director of the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics

 

Teaching staff: Sylvie De Cock, Gaëtanelle Gilquin, Sylviane Granger, Fanny
Meunier and Magali Paquot, all active members of the Centre for English
Corpus Linguistics

 

The following topics will be covered:

 

-          General introduction to learner corpus research

-          Learner corpus annotation

-          Interpreting learner corpus data (developmental vs L1-induced
factors)

-          General introduction to phraseology 

-          Variationist approaches to phraseology

-          Automatic extraction of multiword units

-          Applications of learner corpus research (teaching  and reference
materials, spell- and grammar-checking, L1 identification, etc.)

 

The hands-on sessions will help participants familiarize themselves with a
range of software tools for linguistic analysis and native and learner
corpora, in particular the International Corpus of Learner English and the
Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage. 

 

Participants will have the opportunity to give a brief presentation of their
project at the Learner Corpus Colloquium which will take place on the first
day. 

 

The Summer School will also feature one-to-one sessions with members of the
CECL team to answer questions related to the design of individual projects.
