Dr Eleni Kapogianni, Lecturer in Linguistics in the Department of English Language & Linguistics, has co-organised a workshop with Dr Chi-Hé Elder (University of East Anglia, UEA), entitled ‘Using Quantitative Methods in Pragmatics Research’, to be held over three days on 12-14 July 2017.
The workshop has been funded by the Consortium for Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE) and will run at UEA in Norwich.
This workshop will provide researchers with an opportunity to develop an understanding of the benefits of quantitative methods in pragmatics research; build a toolkit of methods that are applicable to specific research questions in pragmatics; and gain hands-on experience of conducting statistical tests that are applicable to relevant methods.
Dr Christina Kim, Lecturer in Linguistics at Kent, will be contributing five of the sessions, covering acceptability and reaction-time experiments, and methods for analysing continuous and categorical data.
