| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Language is permeated with patterns. In English, the letter q tends to be followed by the letter u. The word moon is almost always preceded by the word the. Passive voice is usually formed with the verb be and a past participle (e.g. was done). Students study the patterns in the words, grammar, meaning and functions in texts. Less obvious patterns can be discerned using specialist pattern-matching tools. This course enables students to investigate the relationship between patterns and language by exploring the vocabulary, grammar and structure of texts. Statistical tools and visualization tools are used to discover the less obvious patterns. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
By the end of the course students will be able to: (a) describe patterns and pattern-seeking behaviour (b) identify patterns at lexical, grammatical and discourse levels (c) use statistical and visualization tools to identify language patterns (d) adapt or create a language visualization tool to discover language patterns |

In this course, open-source acoustic analysis software ("Praat") will be mastered so that students have skills to analyze speech/pronunciation beyond the classroom. Students will be taught about properties of the acoustic signal and they will be taught how to write Praat scripts to automate acoustic analysis. Students will sometimes be required to submit voice recordings demonstrating their pronunciation. This course provides basic phonetic knowledge that is necessary for work in fields such as speech recognition and speech synthesis. |

The primary aim of this content-based course is to enable participants to create a prototype authorship analysis tool using Python. Participants are first introduced to similarity detection and authorship attribution. Texts are then analyzed linguistically by both genre type and author. Case studies involving solving crimes using forensic evidence are used. Participants then develop a natural language processing (NLP) pipeline to detect similarities and differences of language features among a dataset of texts. Detection will involve both rule-based parsing and machine learning. Participants will practice the four language skills required to function in an English language environment. The course culminates in a software demonstration. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
By the end of the course participants will: (a) understand how language analysis can be used to solve crimes (b) explain how authorship can be detected (c) create a natural language processing pipeline in Python to analyze authorship |
