The course Working with language corpora is given during Feb-Mar 2012. The course content deals with the process of building a corpus: data collection, transcription, coding and analysis. In the course is also included research ethics, metadata and corpus statistics. We will foremost work with the program CLAN, but will also discuss several other methods of transcription and analyses. One lab session will be devoted to the coding- and analysis tool ELAN, which is suitable for working with multimodal data.

The course is this time mainly given for doctoral students, but we will also accept master students if there is room. The course will be given in English.

A schedule (still somewhat preliminary) and more information is found here.
