Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is an introduction to data processing and programming for theoretical linguists. It assumes little to no background in programming. The course aims to make the students comfortable with programming and with using programming in their own linguistic research. The first goal of the course is to introduce the basics of programming; the second goal of the course is to show the students that they can solve linguistic problems that they are interested in and working on using the tools they were given. The course provides an opportunity for the students to work on their own research problem as their final project.
Learning Objectives
- to teach students the basics of Python;
- to make students comfortable using programming in their linguistic research;
- to familiarize them with some of the advances in data processing and natural language processing;
- to teach them how to create a linguistic corpus, how to retrieve data from the Internet, how to parse it, how to analyze it computationally;
- to teach students how to present their computational work;
- to teach students how to read each others’ code and how to ethically use open access code written by somebody else.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- students will be comfortable with the Unix shell and simple commands related to processing text;
- students will know basic constructions and functions of Python, as well as the most frequently used functions and modules used for text processing;
- students will be able to use regular expressions for information extraction;
- students will be able to retrieve data from the Internet, parse it and use it for linguistic processing;
- students will be able to write simple scripts in Python in order to use them in their own linguistic research;
- students will understand how common file forms for linguistic data work;
- students will learn how to structure their code, how to make it readable and reusable, and how to present it to other linguists.
- students will learn different ways to format their data: csv, database, json;
