By the end of the session, you will be able to:

•    Compile and manage a corpus of text
•    Use methods to triangulate results from other types of textual analysis
•    Analyse language in context on AntConc. 

You will be encouraged to work independently on a sample corpus provided, or to bring your own corpus if available. You should also check the page on ‘AntConc Essentials’ on Canvas before joining the live session. Please note that this workshop is focused on skill-building in general, rather than the use of AntConc in a particular field.
