This course is an introduction to using the statistical environment R for the analysis of cross-linguistic data. An introductory knowledge of the field of linguistic typology will be expected, but no experience with R will be expected.
Topics:
- Using parallel texts to extract cross-linguistic data
- Extracting parameters from dependency corpora
- Finding universals in a typological database
- Drawing semantic maps from cross-linguistic data
The registration is made at the same time as the registration for the annual conference.
