The University of Zurich is pleased to announce a new partner in the interdisciplinary Master's degree program in ''Multilingual Text Analysis - Comparative Corpus Linguistics'': the Institute of Slavic Languages. 

The Specialized Master in Multilingual Text Analysis (MLTA) is inspired by comparative Corpus Linguistics. It combines Linguistics in English, German, the Romance and the Slavic languages with methods and techniques from Computational Linguistics. The Master's program has been designed for students who want to complement their interest in Linguistics with a qualification in Language Technology. It is also suitable for students of Computational Linguistics who want to gain a multilingual perspective.

Comparative Corpus Linguistics is a fast-growing discipline due to the multitude of translated texts that are now available in digitised form. Moreover, with the increasing demand for interdisciplinary skills in languages and computers, many job opportunities have been created. MLTA graduates are well qualified for jobs in translation and terminology departments of international companies, as well as in the rapidly growing field of language technology.

Interested? Then go directly to the online application:

Application Deadline: April 30th, 2014

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
