Description:

The Zurich Summer School in Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics (ZuKoKo)
invites applications from PhD students, postdocs, and MA students for
one of 30 available spots!
Over five days, participants will explore the acquisition, processing,
and analysis of linguistic data. The program includes a tailored
introduction to Python for corpus research and hands-on training in
data-driven linguistic analysis.
The summer school consists of four modules:
(1) Foundations: Introduction to corpus linguistics, corpus
pragmatics, and essential programming skills in Python.
(2) Resources: Exploration of German-language corpora and tools for
corpus preparation (e.g., LCP).
(3) Analyses: Choose between working with IDS resources
(DeReKo/KorAP/COSMAS) or analyzing custom corpora in Python.
(4) Future of Corpus Pragmatics: Discuss the impact of large language
models on linguistic research.
Thematic areas include lexicon, semantics, pragmatics, discourse and
cultural analysis, with space for variationist and grammatical
approaches.
The program also features a poster session, a keynote lecture, a
raclette evening, and a literary-linguistic walk through Zurich.
