Dear colleagues,

I've been recently appointed to the new Chair of Corpus Linguistics at
Birmingham University. Ever since John Sinclair laid the foundations of
corpus-driven lexicography in COBUILD, the joint venture between
HarperCollins and Birmingham University, there has been an internationally
renowned corpus research group, which introduced modules of corpus
linguistics in postgraduate training, many years ago.

Now that corpus linguistics has come of age, it is time for a broader
programme. Please find attached the announcement of our new one-year MPhil
degree programme in corpus linguistics. As it is closely linked to our
research agenda, our postgraduate students will be invited to align their
research with our projects, many of which have a cross-linguistic perspective.
This is why we think this course is well suited both to students from
overseas and to British students interested in multilingual work.

Our MPhil in Corpus Linguistics acts well as research training preparation
for a PhD at Birmingham or elsewhere.

I would like to ask you to display the announcement of the programme at a
suitable place (the Word file can be downloaded at
http://www.telri.de/current.html ).

Alternatively you can find this information at
http://www.english.bham.ac.uk/PG/CorpusLinguistics.html ). Perhaps you
could also mention this course to students interested in corpus linguistics.

As a general rule, applications are submitted in March and April.

All the best,

Dear all,
the website of the ISLE/EAGLES project in on-line at URL:

http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/isle/ISLE_Home_Page.htm

The aim of ISLE (International Standards for Language
Engineering) is to develop HLT standards within an
international framework in the context of the
EU-US International Research Cooperation initiative.
In the website you can find general information about the
project, its participants, all the documents and the links to
the sub-sites of the three working groups
(Computational Lexicons, Natural Interaction and
Multimodality and Evaluation).
Thanks for your attention
Best Regards

Francesca Bertagna
