Aim:
Aim: to give knowledge, skill and confidence to language professionals who
are coming to grips with corpora. Corpus work is fast becoming an everyday
activity in both the commercial and academic sectors of language study, and
still only a small proportion of those who are getting involved with
corpora have had even the most basic introduction to the management and use
of corpus resources. This course features the particular needs and
resources of multilingual corpus work, but not exclusively.
TWC courses are intensive and last for one week, ranging from language
policy matters to linguistic theory and description, featuring hands-on
experience, detailed exemplification and practical technical review.
Suitable for:
-workers in the language industries
-researchers and scholars of language
-translators
-lexicographers
-computational linguists
-language teachers.
[The course is supported by a small grant from the EC-TELRI-II project
which enables the fees to be kept low; TWC regrets that no grants or
scholarships are available for this course.]
