Scope

Language studies have been conducted by researchers across different disciplines over a long history. In the recent decade, with the emergence of large corpora and technological advances, new quantitative solutions have become available to many questions that used to be difficult to address. This year’s Bridges summer school aims to explore the frontier of quantitative approaches to the study of language and facilitate interdisciplinary discussions on its future directions.
