Computation For Linguists

In addition to learning about the descriptive and theoretical tools used in linguistics, linguistics majors also need to learn about the computational tools used in the field. In this course, we will cover tools ranging all the way from what kind of software linguists use to write linguistics papers with IPA symbols or syntax trees, to the basics of computer programming used in linguistic research. This course will not only prepare students for future linguistics courses, but will also provide them with concrete transferable skills.
