Subject: Free webinar: the OED and the Linguistic DNA project

 
Words that occur together can tell us something about meaning in language. The
Linguistic DNA project has designed a new computational linguistic approach to
model historical word meanings by identifying and ranking a specific kind of
lexical co-occurrence: co-occurring non-adjacent lexical trios in discursive
spans of text.

Join Dr Seth Mehl, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield, as
he shows us how this tool can be used to mine texts and identify the
co-occurrence of specific lemmas, investigate the implication of these
patterns on meaning, and inform the way definitions are written and presented
by the OED.

When? Thu 12 Mar, 11:00 am GMT (UTC+0)
