Dear all,

The Open Advanced Methods in Corpus Linguistics research group, offered by CASS - the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science at Lancaster University, will resume this term. The group is open to anyone with an interest in corpus linguistics or quantitative approaches to language, and sessions will be held in a hybrid format (in person and online).

This term, we will focus on one of the most fundamental concepts in corpus linguistics, frequency, a concept that underpins the field as a whole.

When: Wednesdays, fortnightly, 12:00-12:50 pm (UK time) Starting: Wednesday 21 January Running topic: Measuring and reporting frequency in corpus linguistics Free registration: https://forms.office.com/e/YT5md2fjkac

All are very welcome. Best wishes, Vaclav
