Bootcamps 2012: Call for participation/registration
哈哈，又见Bootcamp，你懂的。
Stefan Th. Gries
### What:
Bootcamp 1: 'Corpus linguists with R' (30 July - 4 Aug 2012)
A 30-hours hands-on introduction to quantitative corpus linguistics
for both graduate students and seasoned researchers. Using the open
source software and programming language R, we will learn
- how to generate frequency lists and search for words and patterns;
- how to process corpora and perform corpus-linguistic searches in
ways that typical corpus software does not support;
- how to write small functions for recurrent corpus-linguistic tasks.
Data to be dealt with include plain text corpora, corpora with SGML or
XML annotation, ICE-GB files, and others. The participants will also
get small functions and scripts they can use for their own
corpus-linguistic tasks (concordancing, generating n-grams of words or
characters, and others).
and/or
Bootcamp 2: 'Statistics for linguists with R' (6 Aug - 11 Aug 2012)
A 30-hours hands-on introduction to statistical methods for both
graduate students and seasoned researchers. Using the open source
software and programming language R, we will
- briefly recap basic aspects of statistical evaluation as well as
several descriptive statistics;
- discuss monofactorial statistical tests for frequencies, means,
dispersions, correlations;
- explore different kinds of multifactorial and multivariate methods,
in particular different kinds of regression approaches as well as
hierarchical cluster analysis.
For all statistical methods to be explored, we will discuss how to
test their assumptions and visualize their results with nice and
annotated statistical graphs, and sometimes we will reanalyze
published data from corpus-linguistic studies. The participants will
also get small functions they can use for their own statistical
applications. Also, there will be a small section on how to write
small statistical/visualization functions yourself.
