[Corpora-List] New Master Program in Multilingual Text Analysis, Zurich

[Maya Bangerter]

Dear all,

The University of Zurich offers an innovative Master program combining 
linguistics in English, German and the Romance languages with methods 
and techniques from Computational Linguistics.

The Specialized Master in Multilingual Text Analysis has been designed 
for students who want to complement their interest in linguistics with 
obtaining a qualification in language technology. It is also suitable 
for students of Computational Linguistics who want to gain a 
multilingual perspective. Languages of instruction are English, German 
and French.

Selected topics:
* Contrastive studies across languages and varieties
* Alignment and Annotation of parallel corpora
* Machine translation
* Cross-language information retrieval
* Language technology for translation science
* Multilingual databases
* Multilingual access to the media

The program will accommodate students with different backgrounds 
including students with little computational or little linguistics 
background. The multilinguality of Switzerland, the cosmopolitan flair 
of Zurich, plus international study weeks with our partner universities 
abroad provide for a unique academic experience.
