Current Projects
The lab offers access to various corpora of Spanish and English, a comparative collection of corpora of Romance Languages, and interactional bilingual video data. Access to these corpora is provided using various software tools such as Conc, UAM Tools, ELAN, and R. The lab also provides access to Eprime and Open Sesame for experiments. We see empirical data analysis as the key way to understanding language and, therefore, we embrace usage-based accounts. All faculty and students affiliated with LLH are united by their commitment to rigorous, empirical analyses of language data through different approaches and methods.
