There is an ever increasing range of linguistic corpora available to linguists, often for free. This workshop aims to help advanced undergraduate, postgraduate and more experienced researchers gain the skills needed to conduct morphosyntactic research using these corpora. Bring a laptop if you can!

Registration is free and all are very welcome but we need to know numbers for admin purposes. Please email michelle.sheehan@anglia.ac.uk if you plan to attend any or all of the sessions. Partial attendance is fine.
