R for Stylistics is a two-day, hands-on workshop for students and scholars of stylistics/literary linguistics who are eager to learn how to use the R programming environment to handle textual data. The workshop will follow an intensive two-day program in which participants will learn the basics of working with R and R Studio, as well as some methods of basic textual analysis with R. The workshop is best suited to advanced students (i.e. MA, PhD) and scholars of stylistics with no prior programming experience.
