R for Stylistics is a two-day (January 19-20, 2023), 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.
