Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is aimed at imparting to students knowledge of modern computer tools and resources used in research in the fields of corpus, applied and computational linguistics, as well as teaching students to apply these tools and resources to linguistic problems. The computer tools covered in this course in-clude: concordancers, corpus managers, corpus-building (and bootstrapping) tools, lemmatizers, stemmers, morphological analyzers, part-of-speech taggers, syntactic and semantic taggers, regular expressions, as well as the text-processing capabilities of the Python programming language. The course involves conducted individual and group research and presenting the results to the class. Pre-requisites: basic Python programming skills, general knowledge of linguistics
Learning Objectives
- The discipline is aimed at students' acquiring knowledge about current computer tools and resources used by linguists in research in the field of corpus, applied and computer linguistics, as well as practical skills in the use of these tools. Computer tools studied within the discipline include concordancers, corpus managers, programs for automatic corpus creation, lemmatizers, stemmers, morphological analyzers and automatic text markup, regular expressions, and Python programming language tools for processing text data.
