[Corpora-List] For students: "CL in Action"

[Eric Atwell]

So, Computational / Corpus Linguistics is the "left-overs" after the 
(commercially) interesting/useful bits have been hived off??!

We're planning a new undergrad module on "Text Analytics" which focusses
on case studies of useful applications of CL/NLP. Can anyone recommend a
survey or textbook or website whcih describes a wide range of case
studies of practical, useful applications of CL, to interest the general
Information Technology student, who may not have an interest in
corpora or language modelling per se?
