MA in Computational Linguistics
The Data Linguistics specialisation focuses on the development and usage of linguistic technology. Students learn how to analyse and structure linguistic information in order to make computers able to process it. Accurate language description is a necessary prerequisite for:
• Making the computer a crucial tool used when working with language
• Enabling computers to process human language, e.g. communication between computer users and computers
Language Engineers
Post-graduates in data linguistics are also called language engineers. They know how to organise linguistic information in a useful and accessible way. Students obtain an in-depth insight in theoretical models and prove their knowledge on practical issues within diverse areas such as speech technology, machine translation, databases and computer dictionaries.
