EGH625 Linguistics in Practice

Aims/Description: This module will focus on the handling and management of linguistic datasets. Students will be encouraged to focus on one particular sub-discipline of linguistics (including, but not limited to, conversation analysis, dialectology, historical linguistics, language acquisition, phonetics, phonology, philology, sociolinguistics, or syntax) and to analyse a pre-existing dataset. This may involve exploring archive materials and data, and/or established corpora. The aim of the module is to equipped students with up-to-date practical skills in data management and processing, working on real data, with active researchers. In the process of developing these skills, students will have the opportunity to explore research questions relevant to their linguistics interests.
