This course provides students with an introduction to state-of-the-art techniques for the statistical analysis and visualization of linguistic information. The aim is to draw linguists’ attention to the possibilities offered by these techniques and to give some practical hints as to how they can be used specifically for lexical data analysis and for their lexicographic application.
1. Statistics for linguistic data
1.1. Univariate descriptive statistics
1.2. Basic inference tools (estimation and testing)
1.3. Bivariate methods
1.4. Regression models
2. Visualizing linguistic data
2.1. Linguistic data analysis and information visualization
2.2. Visualization techniques
2.2.1. Presentation of data
2.2.2. Confirmatory analysis
2.2.3. Exploratory analysis
2.3. Tools and case studies
3. Resources and tools with lexicographic application
3.1. Resources and tools with lexicographic application: an epistemological approach
3.1.1. Working lexicography in and for a visual culture
3.1.2. Design principles for creation of CGI (Computer-generated imagery) products and formats
3.1.3. Concept, history, techniques and styles of creative process in CGI: Pipeline
3.2. Resources and tools with lexicographic application: uses and design
3.2.1. Approach to software for 2D and 3D design
3.2.2. Audiovisual creation and FX: principles and techniques of realization
3.2.3. Editing techniques, visual composition and animation in materials in 2D & 3D
Specific bibliography will be provided for each one of the topics covered in the course.
The competencies and learning outcomes which the students are expected to achieve are:
Basic and general competencies:CG1, CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9 and CB10
Transferable competencies: CT2 e CT4
Specific competecies: CE3, CE4, CE7, CE8 and CE9
The teaching / learning process will combine the following methods:
(a) Theoretical or expository classes. They will be focused on the presentation of an initial overview of program contents.
(b) Practical or interactive classes. - They will consist in practical analyses of case studies through class presentations by the students, practical exercises, discussion of readings, etc.
(c) Tutorial sessions. They will be devoted to the preparation and supervision of the assignments and compulsory readings that the students must complete.
(d) Out-of-class activities.- They include the whole set of tasks (assignments, exercises, readings, etc.) that the students will have to prepare on their own, always under the close supervision of the teachers.
Students will be informed in due course about materials to be used in class, and bibliography.
1. Opportunity: Presentation in class plus a brief paper (10-15 page): 100% of the final grade
2. Opportunity: The assessment on the second opportunity will be based on the same criteria.
Those students who were granted special permission not to attend lessons regularly from the Faculty authorities will necessarily have to write a final work, which is worth 100% of the final grade.
Academic misconduct (cheating, plagiarism in exercises or tests) will be penalized according to the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela regulations on student assessment (Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións; https://www.usc.es/export9/sites/webinstitucional/gl/normativa/descarga…).
Attendance: max. 35 h
Contingency plan
In the event that a semi-presential academic (teaching) period is required or that all academic activities are suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis, academic activities will continue to be either semi-presential, combining both possibilities (face-to-face and online) depending on the health situation, or online. We will use the EMLex teaching platform (Moodle), (ii) different videoconferencing systems, and (iii) email. These tools will also be used as a means of communication and tutoring between the teaching staff and the students. Contents, planning, evaluation and bibliography will not be modified.
