Summer School in English Corpus Linguistics 2014
2014/02/10
Our second three-day Summer School in English Corpus Linguistics will run from Monday 7 July – Wednesday 9 July 2014. Last year’s course was highly successful, and we had extremely positive feedback from those who attended — as the following sample comments indicate:
"I am amazed by your availability and helpfulness throughout the summer school. 4 tutors for 21 students, that is a support-ratio I have never had in my (university) education before. Maybe I should go to more summer schools."
"I'm studying statistics in my university. So I think this lecture is very useful and I want to study hard."
What did you learn that was most useful to you? “Difficult choice because each session offered a link to the next (admirably cohesive) and all were very useful — perhaps I'll opt for what I was least comfortable with, statistics.”
Aims and objectives of the course
The Summer School is a primer in Corpus Linguistics for students of the English language. It is designed to be both accessible and inspiring!
Attendees are taught by world-class researchers at the Survey of English Usage, UCL.
Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of English linguistics and grammar.
It will take place in the English Department of University College London, in the heart of Central London.
Location
The Summer School will take place in Foster Court, University College London.
