Regular Expression, or regex, is a programming language to automatically detect, replace, and
extract text as well as to manage, structure and re-structure data collections implemented in
many programming languages, including R. Based on diverse sets of actual corpus-linguistic
and interactional-linguistic data, in this workshop we will use regex to perform linguistic analyses
in the fields of Corpus Linguistics, Phonetics, and particularly Interactional Linguistics.
Workshop participants will learn how to (i) master regex syntax including literal and non-literal
matching, character classes, backreference, lookaround, static and dynamic patterns, (ii) use
regex in data management and transformation, (iii) apply regex to linguistic research, (iv) and
acquire basics in R programming including visualization and novel packages such as dplyr.
Participants are expected to engage in small-scale practical tasks during the workshop as well
as carry out practical tasks between workshop blocks.

The workshop, which will be held in English, is organized in two blocks:
Block 1: 9th-10th December, 2021
Block 2: 27th-28th January, 2022
