Summer School in Corpus Linguistics: Tools and Applications
Programme and Speakers
This event is open to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students who want to improve their skills to apply corpus methods and use corpus tools in their own research. The programme aims at providing detailed introductions to the latest developments in software and techniques in the field, with practical hands-on sessions on how to employ these in your own research. Given the specialised nature of the programme, a basic understanding of corpus linguistics is recommended.
Topics of sessions include:
Collocational networks
Corpus stylistic analysis
Statistics in corpus linguistics
The language of climate change with WordSmith Tools
CPQweb

Registration
More information about the official registration will be available soon. Because we have many hands-on sessions, places will be limited. If you would like to attend the Summer School, please email us – once the registration opens, those who have expressed their interest will be prioritised.
Accommodation
Accommodation is on campus, which is at some distance from the town itself. We therefore strongly encourage attendees to choose the on-campus accommodation package. More details will be available soon.
Postgraduate Symposium ‘Corpus Linguistics beyond Boundaries’
The Summer School will be followed by the Postgraduate Symposium ‘Corpus Linguistics beyond Boundaries Symposium’, taking place on 10 July 2015. Attendees can attend one or both of these events.
