| Online Asynchronous. There are dozens of whistled languages that are endangered because of cell phones. The most common sentence structure places verbs at the ends of sentences. Almost half of the worlds languages have no written form. You might have to switch reading direction multiple times if you are given an Arabic text that includes numbers. West Africa is currently a creative incubator of writing systems. The worlds over 7,000 languages all serve their speakers needs and yet function in a variety of different and interesting ways. In this course, students will be introduced to various ways in which languages behave and what we can learn from these patterns, like why translation apps sometimes fail so hard.

| As adults, we use vocabulary to express ideas in a nuanced way. We use some words only with friends, others only in formal settings, some words when we write emails, and others when we write term papers. Native speakers of English know how to interpret the weather forecast if they hear it is going to rain like cats and dogs, and Chicagoans are not talking about substance abuse when they text I am on LSD (Lake Shore Drive). Nobody is surprised when we say we ride a bike, ride on the bus, ride the El, or pay for a cab ride, yet translating these expressions literally into other languages can sound funny. In this course, we will discuss what it means to know a word, how many word families one needs to know to read a popular text, and how many in an academic setting. We will look at theories that help us understand how learners of another language can efficiently learn thousands of words. During the course of the semester, students will learn to use multiple research tools, such as frequency lists, text analysis tools (e.g., Voyant Tools), and custom ChatGPTs. | ||||||||

| This course explores how computers process data for language research. Students are afforded an opportunity to work with Python to practice common Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques that can be used to facilitate data mining and information extraction. Students learn how to apply NLP techniques to language-data-related tasks, together with underlying mechanisms and approaches pertaining to these techniques. Students also have chances to lead sessions covering some of the techniques. This ensures that students learn about major NLP issues and solutions, as well as becoming agile with NLP programming. No prior knowledge of digital technologies or computer programming is required for this course, but students are expected to spend a good amount of time in (i) setting up their own device(s) suitable for Python programming (through Jupyter Notebook) and (ii) troubleshooting technical issues firstly and actively by consulting online platforms (e.g., Stack Overflow). | ||||||||
