Course Aims | ||||||||||
Linguistics in the modern era often involves a quantitative component, with concepts that can be operationalized as concrete variables that display ranges of discrete values, which can in turn be translated into numerical variables and then scrutinized by statistical tests. This course teaches students to translate linguistic questions into testable hypotheses with quantifiable outcome variables, to calculate statistical measures on those variables, and to interpret these measures to arrive at meaningful answers to the original linguistic questions. | ||||||||||
