Multiling Summer School 2023

11 - 15 September, 3 ECTS without essay, 5 ECTS with essay
The course is for free, but participants must provide travel and accomodation at their own cost.

While there exist several excellent hands-on workshops on statistics and language science, in the current summer school, we would like to cover aspects of the conceptualisation of a study, and the philosophy of science behind doing sound research, focusing on theory building, including `the theory crisis’, model testing and statistical analyses using Bayesian approaches. In this school, we will attempt to answer, among others, the following questions: 

  • How do we create a good experiment?
  • How do we connect the theory to methods/experiments?
  • What are the things we ought to care about when creating a psycholinguistic study?
  • How do we test a model? (includes un update on influential models in language comprehension and production)
  • What is Bayesian statistics and how does it differ from the frequentist approaches?
  • What is a good design from a statistical point of view?

The workshop is suited for advanced students (MA, PhD candidates) and young researchers involved in doing psycholinguistics and experimental linguistics.

INVITED SPEAKERS: Klaus Oberauer, University of Zurich and Audrey Burki, University of Potsdam
