| Applications in Corpus and Computation Linguistics | |
Duke Univ., Spring 2008 (Linguist 199S/Comp. Sci. 196s) Allen 318 | Tu Th, 10:05 am - 11:20 am This course introduces a number of corpus and computational approaches to the study of natural, human language, focusing on the use of computerized methods to conduct empirical analyses of written and spoken language and language variation. We will start by analyzing text through corpus methods, but will mostly focus on exploring speech - audio data - through computational and corpus approaches. Along these lines, we will examine a range of issues learning about the acoustics of speech, issues in the transcription and annotation of spoken language, and the development and analysis of linguistic corpora. While the focus is on developing a better empirical understanding of language through computational techniques, the course also provides a hands-on introduction to UNIX and Perl programming for linguists, and the use of R for quantitative and statistical analysis. | |
