Using statistics as a practical tool for corpus linguistics and the analysis of language


Practical Workshop Keynote speaker: Vaclav Brezina (Senior Lecturer at the University of Lancaster, UK) Introduction: Marina Bondi (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia)

3 Febbraio 2022

The sessions will include:
- a presentation on why and how statistics can be applied to research in language corpora, in diachronic studies and discourse analysis, in order to improve and normalize data for more accurate and reliable analyses; this can be done through some key principles of statistical techniques which do not necessarily need any great statistical expertise;
- a practical session using software and corpus retrieval techniques (e.g., Graphcol, LancsBox developed at Lancaster University, UK).
