Lancaster University is pleased to offer six free training events that cover the techniques of corpus linguistics, computational analysis of language and geographical information systems (see the description of the individual schools below). The schools include both lectures and practical sessions that introduce the latest developments in the field and practical applications of cutting-edge analytical techniques. The summer schools are taught by leading experts in the field both from Lancaster University and other institutions.
The summer schools are intended primarily for postgraduate research students but applications from Masters-level students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers, and others will also be considered.
The summer schools are free to attend; the participants will arrange their own travel and accommodation.
The following six Summer Schools will run in July 2016:
- Corpus linguistics for Language studies
- Corpus linguistics for Social Science
- Corpus linguistics for the Humanities
- Statistics for Corpus linguistics
- Geographical information systems for the Digital Humanities
- Corpus-based NLP
