Session 1. Introduction – Cognitive and Functional Linguistics Between the mind and society, a social-mentalist theory of langauge Session 2. Research Question Metaphors & Models – Construals & Constructions – Polsyemy and Prototypes In this session, we will discuss some of the different research lines and choose one to work with. Session 3. Data and Language In this session, we will work together on data collection for the question chosen Session 4. Analysis and Operationalisation He we will work together on analysing the data collected, paying special attention to the linguistics problems involved with operationalising the conceptual-functional categories we are examining. Session 5. Results and interpretation How can we determine if the results we have obtained are true for langauge or just for our sample In this session, we introduce basic tests for significance such as the Chi-Squared Test Session 6. Results and interactions Langauge is complex with many different simultaneous dimensions effects choice and conceptualisation. In this session, we will consider how to identify complex patterns in the results we have obtains. Session 7. Interactions and Interpretations In this session, we continue the work of session 5 and 6 Session 8. Predictions and Power In this session, we turn to modelling our data. Using quantitative models, we are able to determine, not only if our results are true for all of langauge, but also how well they can predict how people will use langauge. If they can predict how language is used, then we can be confident that they are not only true, but also descriptively powerful Session 9. This session continues what session 8 begins. Session 10. Projects and Papers In this session, we work on your projects and how to publish a linguistics article.
