2. Using R with Corpus data

Instructor: Gaard B. Jenset (Indigo & University of Oxford, UK)

This hands-on workshop will guide participants through the basics of using the statistical package R for corpus linguistics. The topics will include familiarization with the R interface, data types in R, loading and saving data, creating summary statistics and frequency lists, as well as some examples of simple text processing. Additionally, the workshop will deal with how to set up a work flow, saving code and data, and some examples of how to best format your data for later use in statistical tests. Finally, the workshop will deal with how to use R’s powerful capability for generating high-quality plots.

Required software:

• A recent version of R, freely available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems on http://cran.r-project.org/
• A text editor (not word processor). Most computers come with a basic text editor (such as Notepad for Windows) which will be sufficient. However, you may want to check out some more user friendly (and R friendly) alternatives such as Notepad++ or Tinn-R (both of which are free). Don’t worry about the text editor if you decide to install the recommended software below, as it comes with an integrated text editing environment for R.

Recommended software:

• R Studio (an integrated R environment), freely available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems on http://www.rstudio.com/products/RStudio/. Choose the open source desktop version.

3. Think-aloud protocols (TAP) and metacognition: exchanging practises

Instructors: E.Lavault-Olléon & A.Carré (ILCEA4, Université Grenoble Alpes)

The workshop is aimed at fostering discussion among researchers working on TAP and metacognition.

Each presenter will be alloted about 10 minutes to discuss the methodological aspects of their work linked with TAP and/or metacognition, followed by a general discussion.

The workshop will be held in French -please report to our French website for a more detailed presentation of contents.
