Dear all,

I am developing a web-based course on statistical NLP,
part of which will be an "archive" of data, tools and
other resources that can be used for student projects.
I am grateful for all contributions, either in the form
of actual stuff that I can install on our server and make
available to the community, or in the form of links to
other web sites where the material is available. A general
condition is that the material should be freely available,
so that students can download it and use it without hassle.

If you want to have a look at the course and the resources
collected so far, you will find it at:
http://www.ling.gu.se/~nivre/kurser/wwwstat/index.html
All comments and suggestions are welcome, but remember
that the site is still under construction.

Best regards,
Joakim Nivre

Internet: Launch of a magazine about translation and interpretation

The Alumni Association of ESIT, the translator and interpreter school
of Paris, has just launched a new on-line magazine dedicated to
translation and interpretation. Named Point Com, this magazine,
published quarterly, includes most of the articles published in the
hard copy version of the associations bulletin. Its goal is to
provide information about translation and interpretation both to
professionals and to the general public. We invite you to visit the
site today at the following address:

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF COMPARLINGAFRIC MAILING LIST

Recently, at the final session of the 7th Nilo-Saharan Linguistic
Conference held in Vienna ( Sept.2.-6., 1998), it was proposed to
extend the scope of interest of ComparLingAfric to the WHOLE FIELD of
AFRICAN LINGUISTIC.

It was proposed not to restrict ComparLingAfric to the specialized
comparative and genetic approaches to the languages of Africa any
more, but to focus on the whole complex of research in African
languages, including their description and analysis.


HENCE,

AS FROM NOW , COMPARLINGAFRIC IS AVAILABLE FOR THE WHOLE COMPLEX OF
RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LANGUAGES.


CONTRIBUTIONS CAN BE POSTED EITHER IN ENGLISH OR IN FRENCH.

LES CONTRIBUTIONS PEUVENT ETRE POSTEES EN FRANCAIS OU EN ANGLAIS
