Spring school ("Empirical methods...")

A Spring School on "Empirical methods in usage-based linguistics" will take place on the two days preceding the conference, i.e. 13-14 May, 9:00 - 17:00, Université Lille 3, B-building. The school is open to anyone wishing to learn about one of these methods. The sessions are in English (but the teachers understand French).

The (modest) registration fee is 60€ (regular) or 40€ (students, including PhD students). Included in the fee are the participation in the workshop, pedagogical documents, two lunches and the coffee breaks. Registration and payment (after approval) is to be done on-line here. 

Registration is done in two stages: first you must pre-register by completing the form requested after which we validate your pre-registration, based on the available places. You will receive two mails, one which gives you the places available in the workshops and another which confirms your pre-registration with a link to register permanently. Also at this stage you have to choose the workshop you want to attend. If you are having problems registering, you can contact Justin Duquesnoy (justin.duquesnoy@univ-lille3.fr).

The number of places in each workshop is limited to 15, so do not hesitate to register. Deadine for registration: 25 April, 2013. There will be five workshops in parallel, from which you must choose one:

(1) Corpus linguistics: principles and methods
          (led by Dagmar Divjak, Univ. of Sheffield, UK)
(2) Categorical statistics in corpus linguistics with R
          (led by Dylan Glynn, Univ. of Lund, Sweden)
(3) Annotation and analysis of multimodal data using ELAN
