You can also take this course if you are not a linguist, but you want to learn the basics of Python at a beginner level. No previous experience is needed. We will not assume you know any of the concepts before you start, and no advanced software engineer explanations will occur along the course. You will effortlessly learn the basics of Python applied to computational linguistics step by step. By the end of this course, you will be able to analyze novels and any kind of text without having to read them. And this process will only take a few minutes. Thus, you will figure out who is the protagonist of a novel or the most likely topic of a text, no matter how long it is. Our journey will cover:
