Adam Kilgarriff: Presentations

Back to  home page

User guide: approach is to put up all slides from public or semi-public talks for recent (2010) and/or non-duplicative talks. Some will include 'site-specific' references. There will still be lots of duplication as, of course, I've often re-used material. It also means, if the presentation you are looking for isn't there, there might well be another one that mainly overlaps. Much of the material is systematically presented in  Lexicom course notes (online versions to follow). I plan to add links between this page (talks) and corresponding  publications but they are not there yet. AK May 2010.
