A Tutorial On Recurrence Methods for Linguistics and Psychology

A Tutorial On Recurrence Methods for Linguistics and Psychology

Date & Time:  Thursday, October 24, 5:00pm – 6:30pm

Location: Room 103, Totem Field Studios, 2613 West Mall

Description: This will be a talk on the use of dynamical systems modelling in our understanding of high-level (e.g., discourse) language behavior.

Professor Rick Dale: “I will showcase how to employ growing dynamical methods to high-level language data, such as transcripts and codes drawn from discourse and pragmatics. These methods are inspired by the study of complex dynamical systems in the natural sciences, and the study of motor control in the psychological sciences. By applying these methods to the high-level “cognitive” context, new insights about communication and coordination can be gained, from quantifying the coupling between persons at many levels, and by extracting the overall network structure of human interaction.”
