[Emily M. Bender]

=============================================================================



The University of Colorado is offering a fantastic opportunity for people
interested in Computational Linguistics to be brought up to date with the
latest developments and trends in 4 short weeks.

This is part of the Linguistic Institute 2011 in Boulder (see below), which
offers an unusually wide range of Computational Linguistics courses by
renowned
researchers, covering everything from
   spoken language recognition (Dan Jurafsky, Mari Ostendorf, Julia
Hirschberg)
   to statistical parsing (Rebecca Hwa)
   to Lexical semantics (Christiane Fellbaum)
   to formal representations (Lauri Kartunen, Annie Zaenen, Gerald
Penn, Chris Potts).

There are also some very good Human Language technology workshops that
are open
to Institute participants.

It's an extraordinary networking opportunity, with small classes and lots of
institute-wide events.

============================================================================
The Linguistic Institute 2011 will take place July 7-August 2 on the
campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with major
sponsorship by the Linguistic Society of America and the university.
Courses are being taught by over 100 outstanding international
visiting faculty members. In addition, more than 20 affiliated
workshops and conference meetings will be held during Institute 2011.

The theme of the 2011 Linguistic Institute is Language in the World,
and the focus is on interdisciplinary, empirically based approaches to
language. In keeping with this theme, a large suite of courses target
language documentation and description, as well as processes of
language endangerment and appropriate responses. The Institute not
only continues a vital tradition in the field but also showcases the
outstanding research and teaching activities at the University of
Colorado at Boulder. The 79 one-credit hour courses include many
courses on sociolinguistics, field methods, typology,
syntactic/semantic/pragmatic theory, cognitive science and
computational linguistics.

Online registration is open through July 5th at the Institute website:
