LIN 611 - QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN LINGUISTICS

College of Arts & Sciences

Credits: 3

An increasingly important method in linguistic research relies on measuring some quantity, and inferring some linguistic reality based on such findings. This course presents scenarios where such an approach makes sense, and outlines the appropriate measures and the safest, most reliable ways in which such measures can be used to draw inferences. This course requires concurrent enrollment in LIN 640 Advanced Laboratory in Linguistics: Quantitative Methods.

Prerequisite(s):
Prereq: LIN 601 (Research Methods in Linguistics) or similar course approved by the Director of Graduate Studies. LIN 640 Advanced Laboratory in Linguistics: Quantitative Methods must be taken concurrently.
