Course objectives
The course combines excursions to scholarly linguistic institutions and a series of lectures delivered by both Czech and foreign experts dealing with (not only) corpus and computer processing of language. The aim is to enrich standard teaching of computer linguistics and linguistically orientated Czech studies with concrete examples of work in the sphere of primary as well as of applied linguistic research. The course is aimed especially at students of Czech with the focus on computational linguistics, but it is also open to all students of Czech as well as to students of other philological programmes.
Syllabus
  • Excursions will take place especially at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus (Charles University, Prague), at various sections of the Institute of the Czech Language (Czech Academy of Sciences) and at other companies and institutions at which graduates from programmes focused on computational linguistics Czech studies and other related subjects can find positions. The series of lectures will be focused especially on topics form the spheres of theory and practice of corpus and computational processing of language, on issues of computational translation, on analysis and synthesis of spoken language etc. Some of the lectures will deal with “non-computational” linguistic topics from the field of Czech studies.
