In this workshop you will engage with qualitative analyses using the software f4analyse. In the first workshop (Introcduction to f4 analyse) you will get to know the basic functions of the program. These include the organisation of texts, the creation of codes and also first insights into the possibilities of analysis. More complex ways of using f4 analyse for your research will be explored in the second workshop (f4 analyse advanced). Here you will have the opportunity to get feedback and tips on your project.
Transcription with f4

This hands-on transciption workshop will introduce you to the basics of transcribing audio recordings using the software f4/f5 transcript. You will be provided with an overview of what transcription is, get insights in transcription conventions and tips that will help you when transcribing. There will be time to practice with some examples and also the opportunity to get feedback and advice on projects.
Corpus linguistics
23.05.2018, 12.15-13.45 | LinA-Lab (with AntConc)
13.06.2018, 14.15-15.45 | LinA-Lab (Online Corpora)
27.06.2018, 16.15-17.45 | LinA-Lab (with AntConc)
11.07.2018, 14.15-15.45 | LinA-Lab (Online Corpora)
25.07.2018, 14.15-15.45 | LinA-Lab (with AntConc)
The hands-on language corpora workshop aims at students who are planning to use a corpus-based approach to examine language. In other words, it addresses students who want to analyse large digital collections of written or spoken texts with the help of computer programming tools in order to explore and derive rules that govern natural languages. With regard to students’ needs and research interests, this workshop will deal with issues such as selecting an appropriate corpus from those available at the LinA-Lab (e.g. BNC, GloWbE, SBCSAE, ICE, etc.), applying basic corpus techniques and working with the corpus analysis software AntConc. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to get feedback and advice on their project designs and data analysis.
Students will need to download the free software AntConc at http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/ and bring a laptop with a working internet connection.
Recording audio data & Transcription (with f4)
21.06.2018, 10.15-11.45 | LinA-Lab
This workshop invites its participants to learn more about the recording of audio data. We'll have a look at both theoretical as well as ethical issues and will discuss different recording options from audio (main focus) to video. Furthermore, students are offered the possibility to borrow devices for their projects from the LinA-Lab. For this purpose, please don't forget to bring the signed loan contract along with a 20 € deposit.
Analysing texts: corpus linguistics techniques and other methods (quantitative and qualitative)
02.06.2018, 10.00-16.00 | C5.311 (Corpus-assisted Discourse Analysis – AntConc)
03.06.2018, 10.00-16.00 | C5.311 (Working with Online Corpora)
16.06.2018, 10.00-16.00 | C5.311 (Critical Discourse Analysis)
17.06.2018, 10.00-15.00 | C5.311 (Open Project Sessions)
This seminar aims to give a broad overview on different techniques and methods for analysing texts. These texts can be newspaper articles, transcribed interviews, academic papers or any other written corpora. The approaches covered in the seminar are mainly linguistic ones but often mix with other disciplines such as social sciences and the humanities. The field of Critical Discourse Analysis is cross-disciplinary, in particular.
The sessions consist of theory and hands-on introductions working with examples of naturally-occurring data.
Students are welcome to participate in all sessions or join the sessions that are relevant to them and their respective research projects. Individual support is also available at the end of the workshop days and on 17.06.18 where the methods and topics can be decided collectively.
This course is open to students at all levels. No prior special skills and knowledge are required.
Workshops and seminar are free of charge.
