Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
This course is an introduction to the rapidly growing field of Corpus Linguistics. Corpus Linguistics (CL) is a method to retrieve data to study natural occurring language in different contexts. Retrieval of data is usually carried out with the aid of different types of software. Corpora are machine-readable collections of texts compiled to explore how language is used in real communication, written or spoken. The course combines theoretical insights relating to relevant research questions, criteria and methods for evaluating, building and annotating corpora with exploratory hands-on language lab sessions using tools that have been developed for searching and organizing the data as well as well methods for corpus building and annotation. The main aim is to familiarize the student with how to master the use of language corpora for different purposes in linguistic research.
