NooJ includes tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and<br>accumulate large sets of linguistic resources, and can apply them to<br>large texts. <br><br>Modules for a dozen languages are already available for free download:<br>Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, English, French,<br>Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. A dozen of<br>other modules are under construction. <br><br>******************************************************<br>*Topics of Interest* <br><br>Suggested topics include but are not limited to: <br>· Syntactic analysis <br>· Lexical analysis <br>· Linguistic resources<br>· Dictionary <br><br><br>******************************************************: <br><br>*Submission*<br>We invite the submission of papers until the March 15, 2009 either in<br>English or in French.
