Corpus Linguistics Summer School 2025
2025-07-07 08:00 - 2025-07-11 16:00 UTC | Murray Learning Centre
The University of Birmingham Corpus Linguistics Summer School is open to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students, as well as researchers who want to improve their skills to apply corpus methods in their own research.
For the first time since 2019, the 9th Corpus Linguistics Summer School will be held in person on the University of Birmingham Edgbaston campus. It will consist of synchronous and asynchronous elements. The synchronous sessions will take place from 7 to 11 July 2025. Prior to the synchronous part, participants will be expected to complete asynchronous online activities consisting of self-study video lectures and hands-on materials.
Our summer school aims to equip participants with critical expertise in both the theory and practice of corpus-supported linguistic research. Building on the strengths of our Centre for Corpus Research (CCR) and our guest speakers, we offer participants a learning experience that benefits their own specific research needs and enriches their experience as researchers more widely. There will also be an opportunity for participants to present their own work and receive feedback from our expert team. Given the specialised nature of the programme, a basic understanding of corpus linguistics is highly recommended.
