Learning outcomes
Traditionally linguistic analysis was done largely by hand, but computer-based methods and tools are becoming increasingly widely used in contemporary research. This course provides an introduction to skills and resources that can assist the linguist in performing fast, flexible, and accurate quantitative analyses. Students will learn a programming language (Python) along with techniques for processing human language data. No previous programming experience is required: we will teach you the basics of programming and computational linguistics along with some good software engineering practices.
