[Air-L] Second Call: Summer School 2012 on CMC methodology

[brook bolander]

Dear colleagues,

this is the second call for the 2012 summer school on CMC methodology to be
held in Ascona, Switzerland, from 17-23 June, 2012.


*Summer School:*

*Research on computer-mediated communication in linguistics (RCMCL)*

*17-23 June 2012, Ascona, Switzerland*



This international summer school addresses methodological issues on
computer-mediated communication in connection with language use. The school
caters to advanced MA and PhD students already working on CMC topics.  Its
aims are as follows:



1)      To discuss cutting edge theoretical literature on methodologies in
CMC/CMD (there will be a reading list).

2)      To provide students with a set of tools to aid them in the
preparation and analysis of CMC data.

3)      To give students a chance to introduce their own research projects
and discuss methodological challenges (with both other students and staff).



A reading list with central theoretical literature will be provided closer
to the time. Teaching methods will be a combination of input presentations,
hands-on workshops and feedback sessions.
