This course is highly interactive and hands-on. Learn a state-of-the-art method of metaphor identification (MIPVU) or get better at coding than you already are!
Metaphors are all around us - a tsunami of corona cases, fighting Covid-19, beating the virus. But how can we reliably and systematically collect metaphors for further study? Through hands-on activities, this course will give you the skills and tools you need for building your own dataset.
