CORPUS LINGUISTICS - ENS

This course provides students with a basic understanding of the field of computational linguistics, which is a broad field incorporating research and techniques for processing language with computers at all levels of linguistic structure. Topics of discussion include what corpus linguistics is, its history, tools and methods, and some current research in the area. Students in this class are expected to have a background in either computer science or linguistics, but not necessarily both. Class activities include lectures, group discussions, and presentation. Evaluation is based on the performance in the class activities, completion of assignments, and final project.
