Learning objectives
On successful completion of this workshop, PhD students will be able to demonstrate to:
- know how to create a linguistic questionnaire which is adequate for crosslinguistic analyses;
- be familiar with the structure of language-data repositories;
- be able to extract features from audio recordings and organize the data analysis in way which allows for geolinguistic interpretations (using Excel tables or similar tools).
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of basic concepts in empirical linguistics (acquired in MA degree in linguistics or similar topic area).
Program
AlpiLinK (https://alpilink.it) provides a comprehensive and rapidly growing parallel corpus with crowdsourced audio data from all dialects and minority languages of the northern Italian regions: Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Lombardy, Veneto, Trentino-South Tyrol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. By 17 June 2024 the repository featured 35.489 audio files produced by 1003 speakers (https://zenodo.org/records/11352290). In the theoretical part the questionnaire design will be illustrated and students will be introduced to the linguistic analysis of the data. In the practical part PhD students will be trained to conduct their own analyses of the data.
