Workshops

About the workshops

The corpus-linguistic workshops are free of charge and provide practical introductions to working with corpus-linguistic software tools such as AntConc or WordSmith Tools, and to basic statistical methods useful for quantitative linguistics.

• time: usually 2x 90 minutes
• registration: via Stud.IP or email CL Help (limited to 5 participants each)
• place: B308 (English library, Phil. I)
• for more information, please see Stud.IP (you can search for the workshops by name) or the announcements on the 4th floor

The aim of the workshops is to serve as a starting point for work with corpus-linguistic software tools: you will get to know all their basic functionalities, apply what you've learned in exercises and have the chance to experiment with the software. However, it is not possible to discuss every last detail (after all, there is only so much that can be covered in a 4-hour workshop). But don't worry: the workshop will also supply you with many helpful tips and tricks and direct you to further resources that you can use to continue working on your own. In addition, you can of course visit the corpus-linguistic office hours for technical support.
