Programs †
- Initially, I thought I was going to use the materials presented at the CALICO preconference workshop on the same topic, but most of the papers were not as cutting-edge as I thought, so I changed my mind and will prepare my own materials.
- Since there are some novice users of corpora, I would like to give a brief introduction on corpus linguistics, tools & resources available for language teachers.
- Then we will focus on the automatic aspect of language analysis, using concordancers, with POS taggers, parsers, etc.
- Finally we will briefly look at the lexical profiling software such as Sketch Engine and Wmatrix.
