corpus data, and applying this knowledge to specific research
projects. Second, participants will learn about current corpus
research from our team.
Topics of sessions will include (this is a non-exhaustive list and
subject to change):
• Analysing healthcare data using corpus linguistics
• Analysing learner language
• Analysing text with Python and SpaCy
