LEXECON The international research network on economics lexicon

Requisitos

The trainees will experience a lively multidisciplinary atmosphere of research, combining economics,
history and linguistics. Under the guidance of the Department’s researchers, they will follow the
whole chain of construction of a digital corpus of texts and learn the computer-assisted techniques of:
• production of a bibliographic record and its metadata
• processing of annotated digital texts: scanning, OCR recognition, error cleaning, mark-up
and linguistic annotation
• linguistic analysis of texts
Although the activities focus on economic texts, the skills acquired are transferable to all humanities
and social sciences.
We encourage applications from master’s students and young graduates in:
• linguistics
• European literatures
• humanities (history, philosophy, anthropology, digital humanities)
• economic sciences
• political and social sciences
• computer science
