Week 1 [2024-04-04 Thu]

We discussed some basic properties of texts.

Observing three texts, we saw that as the linguistic objects in question grew in size, the chances of them occurring fell dramatically. This led to the conclusion that, for most expressions we will ever hear, we will only hear them exactly once.

Our notes for this week are here.

Next time

For next time, please read about the general principles of syntactic annotation in universal dependencies.
