Corpora: language engineering

[Mark Lewellen]

I don't know of a usage of "language engineering" related to "language
planning".
A description of the technical use of the term is:  "language engineering"
is to NLP
development as "software engineering" is to software development--it implies
a
structured, well-organized approach to NLP development, as oppposed to
seat-of-the-pants
development.
