Course Summary

This seminar explores the construction and analysis of digital text archives (corpora) from the perspectives of Linguistics, Digital Humanities, and Fieldwork.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

A. Course Content
This seminar is structured around three key steps:


1. Fieldwork: Collecting Language Data


Participants will gather linguistic data based on their own interests. Examples include recording dialects from their hometown or collecting English composition samples from learners at educational institutions that have agreed to participate.


2. Digital Archiving: Creating a Digital Text Archive


Using various tools, participants will transcribe the collected data into a searchable digital format and annotate it appropriately, gaining hands-on experience in creating a digital text archive.


3. Data Analysis: Interpreting Text Data


Participants will analyze the digital text data using applied statistical methods and provide linguistic interpretations.


B. Seminar Format


This seminar will proceed in two main styles:


1. Input (Knowledge Acquisition):
Participants will read well-known textbooks and research papers to learn the knowledge, techniques, and analytical methods used in previous studies. As for the stats, we will watch a video to enhance the skills.



2. Output (Practical Application):
In addition to working with existing corpora, participants will apply the knowledge they have acquired by creating their own corpora and performing annotations.


D. Goals


The goal of this seminar is to enable participants to:


1. Collect linguistic data independently.


2. Archive the collected data effectively.


3. Perform appropriate analyses on the archived data.
