LING 5804: Analyzing language in social media (co-taught with Lauren Squires)
This course will approach the study of language and interaction in social media from both theoretical and practical angles. From the theoretical side, we will explore why social media are of interest for linguistic and other social science researchers, focusing on previous research findings about communicative behavior in social media. From the practical side, we will teach students to perform analysis of social media behavior, covering all steps in the research process from data collection/selection to quantitative and qualitative analysis and reporting. Students in the course will learn to think more critically about these daily media practices and their role in society, and they will also gain hands-on skills they can take to their future endeavors. No previous experience in linguistics or programming is required, though some background in the study of language will be helpful.

LING 8450: Seminar in computational and experimental pragmatics (graduate)
The course explores recent research in the fields of computational and experimental pragmatics, looking at topics such as models of reference, projective meaning, sentiment analysis, and scalar implicature. We will investigate how efforts in theoretical linguistics and computational/experimental techniques can complement each other. The course will cover both basic tutorial material and more advanced topics. Students are encouraged to pursue a term project related to their own developing research interests. At the end of the course, students will be able to conduct research in experimental pragmatics, will be familiar with the advantages and drawbacks of crowdsourcing methods, and will understand the current mainstream efforts in computational pragmatics.

Topic: Computational methods for linguists
The course introduces computational methods for collecting and analyzing
quantitative linguistic data, with a primary focus on the use of corpora
in exploring theoretical questions in various areas of linguistics. Topics
include the access and retrieval of corpus data (i.a., tgrep/Tregex),
automatic methods of data annotation, and statistical modeling. The class
will be hands-on: you will get practical experience with various
computational tools, as well as with the statistical package R.
