Statistics for linguists – intermediate 3201-LST-SLI

Knowledge: the graduate knows and understands:
-in-depth, the main directions of development and contemporary research trends in linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus, social/text linguistics) and knows where the most important linguistic research centers in Europe and the world are located
-in-depth, research methods used in: psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, corpus linguistics, digital linguistics and text linguistics, as well as statistical models
-in-depth, the relationship of linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus linguistics) with other fields of (neuro)science

Skills: the graduate is able to:
-use in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge to carry out research work and solve complex problems in linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus, social/text linguistics) using appropriate methodology
-to an in-depth degree, search, analyze, evaluate and select information in the native language and foreign languages
-use advanced research tools of linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus-based) and select research methods appropriately to the problems undertaken
-use in-depth knowledge of linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus-based, social/text linguistics) through the selection and appropriate application of modern information and communication technology (including statistical, corpus, eye-tracking and EEG analysis software) when working with research data
-use in-depth knowledge of research methodologies (acoustic analysis, eye-tracking, EEG, corpus analysis, data analysis: R, Python) used in modern linguistics to plan and carry out a methodologically correct scientific study, as well as to analyze its results and identify implications
-use a foreign language to an advanced degree (C2 level) in specialized terminology in the field of linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus, social/text linguistics)
-lead the work of a team in a linguistics project using advanced research methods and new technologies
-independently acquire knowledge in the field of linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus, social/text linguistics) and evaluate the usefulness of the learned methods, practices and procedures in their own professional activity

Social competences: the graduate is ready to:
-recognize the importance of the latest linguistic knowledge and critically evaluate research in linguistics (theoretical, computational, cognitive, corpus, social/text linguistics), especially those published in scientific journals and monographs and popular science sources
-recognize the importance of linguistic knowledge in solving cognitive and practical problems and to consult with experts
-initiate and carry out linguistic research, in particular to improve accessibility in the dimensions of language, information and communication
