This course is open to ¡­

This course is open to exchance students and will be taught in English (which makes sense anyway, as all literature for the class is English too). No specialized background knowledge is required, but some prior exposure to basics of computation, programming, and grammar will be an advantage. The class uses two standard text books, one a comprehensive overview of Computational Linguistics (mostly from a processing point of view), the other a reasonably formal introduction to computational grammar (mostly from a linguistic point of view). Both books should be in stock at Akademika already, and we expect all course participants to have their own copy available throughout the semester. We will post reading assignments for the first few weeks of the semester in the next few days.
