SUMMARY:CLA Research Methods for Applied Linguists Workshop
DESCRIPTION:\nAbstract:\n\nAre you interested in learning how to make me
morable and effective data visualizations for your research? In this wor
kshop we will discuss principles of data visualization with a focus on l
inguistic data. Specifically\, we will outline strategies for developing
elegant\, informative plots by implementing principles from graphic des
ign and the grammar of graphics (Wilkinson\, 2012). The workshop will co
ver how to think about data and the visual communication of data when de
signing figures using R (R Core Team\, 2022) and ggplot2 (Wickham\, 2009
). This includes general do’s and dont’s\, deciding how to pick the most
appropriate plot for your data\, as well as best practices for visualiz
ing uncertainty\, highlighting/annotating key graphical elements\, forma
tting for publication\, and much more. The workshop will combine theory
and practice so attendees are encouraged to bring their computers with t
he latest version of R installed. Prior experience\, while helpful\, is
not necessary.\n\nBio:\n\nJoseph Casillas is an associate professor of S
panish Linguistics in the Spanish and Portuguese Department and associat
e faculty in the Department of Linguistics at Rutgers University\, New B
runswick. His main interests are in phonetics\, laboratory phonology\, a
nd second language acquisition. A principle aim of his research is to be
tter understand the relationship between language use and sound represen
tation in the multilingual mind\, as well as the structure of sound syst
ems in human languages. Most of his research is conducted on bilinguals
of varying proficiency and linguistic experience. Some of his recent pro
jects have centered on native phonetic experience and its influence on L
2 speech production\, perception and lexical processing. He also focuses
his time and attention on coding\, statistical analysis\, data visualiz
ation\, and reproducible research\, as well as training researchers to i
mplement open research practices in the speech sciences\, particularly i
n bilingualism/second language acquisition research. He also enjoys play
ing music\, Casio watches\, and anything related to el andalú.\n\nFor mo

Are you interested in learning how to make memorable and effective data
visualizations for your research? In this workshop we will discuss prin
ciples of data visualization with a focus on linguistic data. Specifical
ly, we will outline strategies for developing elegant, informative plots
by implementing principles from graphic design and the grammar of graph
ics (Wilkinson, 2012). The workshop will cover how to think about data a
nd the visual communication of data when designing figures using R (R Co
re Team, 2022) and ggplot2 (Wickham, 2009). This includes general do’s a
nd dont’s, deciding how to pick the most appropriate plot for your data,
as well as best practices for visualizing uncertainty, highlighting/ann
otating key graphical elements, formatting for publication, and much mor
e. The workshop will combine theory and practice so attendees are encour
aged to bring their computers with the latest version of R installed. Pr
ior experience, while helpful, is not necessary.
