Workshop on corpus linguistics

Aim of the workshop (website link)

The goal of this workshop is twofold: First, we would like to provide empirically minded philosophers and cognitive scientists with a new, cutting-edge methodological toolkit. Second, we want to encourage more cross-disciplinary collaboration amongst empirically minded philosophers, linguists, legal scholars and psychologists.  

After participation in our methods workshop, participants will be able to conduct corpus analysis in a variety of fields of the social sciences. They will have finished their first own project using corpus studies, supported by experts as well as highly motivated early-career researchers with different social science backgrounds.

How to apply

We have limited space for 4-5 participants from Non-Zurich universities. There is no participation fee. Unfortunately, we cannot cover accommodation and travel expenses.
