Synopsis This subject, which will be project based, will critically survey and attempt to apply frameworks proposed in the current literature relevant to a subfield of linguistics suitable for computational treatment. No prior programming experience is assumed; however, students are expected to be prepared to approach linguistic data in a manner consistent with computer-assisted analysis. The subject will draw on insights from linguistics, computer science and cognitive science.
