ECLASS:
> Participants will receive a link for an e-class & dropbox.
This course provides an introduction to working with linguistically annotated corpora, and more specifically with the Penn Parsed Corpora of Historical English and French. The methods are applicable to any other corpus annotated in the Penn format. At the end of the course participants will know the main types of corpora and how to use them for research. They will be able to work with the syntactic annotation of the Penn corpora and how to query them with CorpusSearch. They will know how to add further information to the corpora, e.g. lemmas using the BASICS Toolkit, or syntactic features using the coding function of CorpusSearch. They will be able to use the results for quantitative studies (with Excel filters or with statistical software like R). The course will be very interactive with many hands-on exercises after input sessions introducing the topics mentioned above. Although we will start from scratch it would be helpful if participants had a look beforehand at the resources listed below. They should also bring a computer with a spreadsheet software (Excel, OpenCalc etc.), and the downloaded French historical corpus (available free of charge at https://github.com/beatrice57/mcvf-plus-ppchf).
