About the course
In this course, you will learn the theory and practice of carrying out empirical research on language. The theoretical part of the course will be research design: the formulation of clear and practical research questions and the critical evaluation of the research design of published papers. The focus will be on applications to sociolinguistic and typological research, although the methods are applicable to other linguistic (and non-linguistic) domains.
The practical part of the course will include an introduction to programming in the statistical computer language R. During the computer labs you will learn all the stages of data analysis: loading data from outside sources, manipulating data into appropriate forms, visualising data, performing simple statistical tests, and sharing and archiving results.
