Winter School on Corpus Data for the Analysis of Discourse, Interactions and Arguments

Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), together with the CLARIN-CH consortium, is happy to announce the Winter School on Corpus Data for the Analysis of Discourse, Interactions and Arguments, which will take place on February 7-9, 2023, in Lugano.

The main goal of the Winter School is to create a stage where PhD students can meet, interact and discuss their corpus data with Swiss and international senior researchers who are recognized leaders in the domains of corpus studies, discourse analysis and argumentation mining. The school involves three types of activities: 1) longer methodological seminars, 2) shorter interactive sessions guiding students through issues of data analysis, and 3) data sessions where PhD students present their ongoing research and discuss issues and solutions regarding the analysis of corpus data pertaining to their PhD theses.
