Università Roma Tre

The programme is divided into a theoretical and applied section, the latter with use of Language Technologies for linguistic data analisys.
The theoretical section will introduce the following themes: argument structure of verbs, word classes and lexical information, basic concepts in semantics and theories on meaning, combinations of, and interactions between, words.
The applied section, with the help of the tools of information technology in the computer lab, will illustrate the research methodologies in use for linguistic data, in particular for the extraction of words, of combinations of words, and for their different typologies; it will also be devoted to a survey of frequency data which can be drawn from the existing corpora presented in the lab.
The applied section will be supervised by Dr. Piunno, expert in Language Technologies and corpus linguistics.
