Exploring Text-Based Corpora with Voyant
Instructor Note
Please be prepared to create breakout rooms for the exercise where participants will be working in pairs or groups of 3.
Instructor Note
Use powerpoint slides and share screen for the introduction of terminology so that all terms in bold can be seen by all on one screen.
Instructor Note
Exit powerpoint now. The below callout does not necessarily need to be read out as part of the training, and can be cut for the sake of time.
Instructor Note
Check for questions before launching the exercise
Instructor Note
While participants are in breakout rooms, load up one of the three subgenre datasets into Voyant on your own machine and spend around 5 mins after the breakout rooms have closed discussing findings, how the various tools work, etc. Point out red/green highlights for certain words, point out inconsistencies regarding Voyant’s application of stopwords etc. Show the lemma tool by adding * at the end of a search term.
Instructor Note
Demonstrate the stopwords tool by editing the master list on your own screen e.g. by removing “like”, “system”, etc.
