Dear List Members
I recently asked for information/recommendations regarding (post) MA level courses for someone who had some basic knowledge of corpus linguistics relating to TEFL but who wanted a reasonably practical course for further teaching/research purposes.
Although those who replied were very careful to send me personal messages and not use the list as an advertising opportunity I still feel it may be useful to give a brief summary of what I have been sent.
Thanks to:
Eric Atwell
Anna Cermakova
David Lee
Salkie Raf
Ute Romer
John Sinclair
Ute Romer noted that a he had posted a similar query to the list recently a summary of which is at http://www.hit.uib.no/corpora/2002-2/0060.html
He also pointed me towards Michael Barlow's website at http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~barlow/corpus.html which has a list of on-line courses.
Salkie Raf pointed me towards two courses run at the University of Brighton. One a summer school course in lexicography and computing. Information at http://www.itri.bton.ac.uk/lexicom <http://www.itri.bton.ac.uk/lexicom>
The second an MSc in Lexicography and Lexical Computing, Information at http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/courses/MScLex/
<http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/courses/MScLex/>
This course offers the possibility of doing individual modules.
Anna Cermakova and John Sinclair directed me towards The Tuscan Word
Centre at www.twc.it which runs short intensive courses in Corpus Linguistics, and is
currently recruiting for two in June 2002. One is research focused the other teaching focused.
Finally David Lee pointed me towards his website at http://devoted.to/corpora (specifically the
"Courses, FAQs, Info, E-Lists" page) where there are links to several related syllabuses.
Thanks to everyone again
