HRI Lecture Series - "Using Corpus Linguistics to Investigate Approaches to Oyster Fishery Management Across Political Boundaries"
State-specific oyster management documents provide the primary frameworks for decision-making. This seminar presents a study which analyzes the most current oyster fishery guidance document for each U.S. Gulf state using corpus linguistics techniques—including keyword and concordance analyses—to identify what makes each document distinct and how those distinctions can be related to each other in a regional framework.
