THIRD WORKSHOP IN COMPUTATIONALLY-INTENSIVE
METHODS IN QUANTITATIVE LINGUISTICS
AN INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS IN LINGUISTICS
Department of Statistics
University of Glasgow, UK
18-21 July 2000
Call for Registration
In recent years techniques from disciplines such as computer science,
artificial intelligence and statistics have found their way into the
pages of journals such as the Journal of Quantitative Linguistics,
Literary and Linguistic Computing and Computers and the
Humanities. The two previous CIMQL workshops have had invited speakers
presenting their own work in these areas, but in response to
participant demand, the third CIMQL workshop will be devoted to
introductory methods in Statistics.
The workshop is designed to introduce the participants to statistical
techniques in a practical environment. Time will be spent in
traditional lectures as well as working with statistical software on
examples taken from linguistics and literature. The presenters, Fiona
Tweedie and Lisa Lena Opas-Hanninen, have experience of teaching this
material to a wide variety of students from European countries. Their
aim in this workshop is to enable the participants to return to their
home institutions able to carry out these techniques in the course of
their own research.
Topics covered will include:
* Introduction; Basic approaches and vocabulary,
* Summary statistics and displaying data,
* Confidence intervals and hypothesis testing; differences in
means and proportions,
* Tests of Association - Chi-square test, correlation
* Linear Regression; One-way Analysis of Variance.
The workshop will be held in the Boyd-Orr building of the University
of Glasgow, commencing on Tuesday 18 July at 1pm. The workshop
sessions will take place on Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday 19 July,
Thursday 20 July and the morning of Friday 21 July. There will
also be a half day tour on the Friday afternoon and a reception in
the Hunterian Art Gallery on Tuesday evening.
Accommodation has been arranged in university accommodation. The
reception, tea and coffee, lunches on 19, 20 and 21 July and evening
meals on 18, 19 and 20 July are included in the registration fee. The
registration fee, until 31 May, is GBP200.00 and GBP150.00 for
students. Participants who are also attending the ALLC/ACH Conference,
21-25 July are eligible for a discount in the ALLC/ACH registration fees.

Subject: [At University of London] The Philosophy of Heidegger &
Hubert Dreyfus
Greetings Humanists,
((Prof. Hubert Dreyfus (University of California, Berkeley) will be
speaking on "Could Anything be more Intelligible than Everyday
Intelligibility?: Reinterpreting Division I of _Being and Time_ in the
light of Division II" --A great venture to be there!! --Arun))
((In the words of great philosopher, Michel Foucault, he commented on
Heidegger in his last interview, "..For me Heidegger has always been
the essential philosopher....My entire philosophical development was
determined by my reading of Heidegger...." [Courtesy: "Being and Power:
Heidegger and Foucault" -by Hubert L. Dreyfus]
((In the words of Heidegger on the philosophy of electricity as the
paradigm technological stuff, "..The revealing that rules throughout
modern technology has the character of a setting-upon, in the sense of a
challenging-forth. That challenging happens in that the energy concealed
in nature is unlocked, what is unlocked is transformed, what is
transformed is stored up, what is stored up is, in turn, distributed, and
what is distributed is switched about ever anew.." [Courtesy: "Being and
Power: Heidegger and Foucault" -by Hubert L. Dreyfus]
One Pointer: "Hubert Dreyfus ON "Intelligence Without Representation
is Merleau-Ponty's Critique of Mental Representation, The Relevance of
Phenomenology to Scientific Explanation" -can be found at
