Course objectives
1. Learn programming 2. Start a small computational linguistics project
Learning outcomes
This seminar will help you with:
- learn basic programming
For those doing a more advanced project:
- the skills of real world programming for a concrete and useful project;
- the skills of transforming an abstract conceptual issue into practical steps, in new and unexplored domains;
- thinking about theoretical linguistics issues in terms that maximise the usefulness of automatic searching and automatic calculations (science often advances thanks to the availability of new tools, and that hasn't happened much in theoretical syntax/morphology yet, so this is an excellent opportunity)
