You will understand what corpora are and how they can be used for solving small questions concerning language use, for example in language teaching and learning, or in translation.
This course aims to provide support, tips and guidance for the technical and practical issues that tend to turn up during language data handling, processing and analysis.
The main goal of the course is to provide students with basic tools for studying speech samples. The course provides an overview of the processing of speech data and acoustic-phonetic analysis methods of speech. The course will introduce students to the possibilities of using the Praat speech analysis program and learn how to flexibly apply the program’s features in their own work. The course will also teach students how to use the ELAN program, which can transcribe and annotate audio as well as video. In addition, they will experiment with an automatic speech recognizer.
Teaching structured through one course on how to use the Language Bank of Finland and its resources with the support of the CSC environment.
