About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe and explain basic concepts within linguistics, especially from morphology, syntax, and semantics
- perform basic linguistic analyses such as part-of-speech analysis and dependency analysis
- use computer-based tools and programming to collect, analyse and validate linguistic data sets (corpora)
- plan and carry out simple corpus studies, and present and critically assess the results
Content
The course covers:
- Introduction to linguistics. Theoretical overview of basic concepts with a focus on morphology, syntax, and semantics. Basic analysis techniques such as part-of-speech analysis and dependency analysis.
- Computer-based processing and analysis of linguistic data sets (corpora). Introduction to data formats, computer tools and programming techniques. Computer labs with linguistically annotated text.
- Corpus studies. Introduction to methodology and validation measures. Synthesis of theoretical knowledge and practical skills by their application to a limited-size computer-based corpus study.
