Course Content (Syllabus)
The goal of the course is to familiarize students with the basic theoretical and technical tools of compiling and analysing natural language corpora. Throughout course issues on the usefulness of corpora in linguistic research will be discussed and basic definitions and criteria as to how to compile and use natural language corpora. Furthermore, an important part of the course will be devoted to presenting the notions of "wordlists", "concordances" in various usage contexts. Moreover, existing corpora of Greek language will be presented and the current trends of corpus (stand-off) annotation with XML, a markup language that is currently used in many language corpora projects. Last but not least, participants will learn the most common and well-known methods of statistical analysis of language data.
