I’ll be teaching statistical methods for typologists at the thematic school on Experimental, Quantitative, Computational & Corpus Linguistics, which takes place on 1–5 June 2026 in Fréjus, France. This school brings together formal, experimental, field & computational linguists, with hands-on workshops on quantitative methods, NLP, corpus annotation and more. I’ll be teaching a course “A statistical toolkit for typology”, with practical R exercises on cross-linguistic data. We will discuss the following topics: phylogenetic regression for testing cross-linguistic correlations and implications, Multidimensional Scaling, conditional inference trees and random forests.

Looking forward to many inspiring exchanges on the beautiful Côte d’Azur!
