This research seminar will engage students in the investigation of culture in computer corpora of varieties of English, traceable, for instance, in collocational patterns, cultural keywords and lexical frequency as well as cultural conceptualizations. First, relevant theoretical concepts and methodologies will be introduced. Then, students will be required to develop a viable research project that focuses on any given cultural aspect, either from an intra- or cross-varietal perspective. The findings of the research project will be presented and peer-reviewed in class.

The seminar starts on April 17.
