The Department of Linguistics at Lancaster is currently engaged in work aimed at establishing the needs of the language engineers and linguists with regard to corpus building in non-indigenous minority languages in Europe (e.g. Chinese, Vietnamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Panjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Sinhala, Sylheti etc). We have developed a shor web-questionnaire to assess such needs. The answers will be anonymised and eventually form part of a report which we are happy to send, free of charge, to all who participate in the survey. Even if you are not working with these languages, we'd like you to fill in the questionnaire with an eye to future possible work in this area. The questionnaire is at: http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/monkey/ihe/mille/leq.htm Sorry if you receive this more than once! Dr. Tony McEnery, Senior Lecturer, Dept.
