    We are offering at our Centre a module on Natural Language Processing (includes Computational Linguistics) & Information Retrieval under the name "Natural Language Engineering". I would like to know if there are any books covering both the topics - the books should serve more or less like a text book for the students. Suggestions for small projects in these areas are also most welcome.

    Thanks in advance, Radhika Mamidi Knowledge Based Computer Systems Division National Centre for Software Technology Juhu, Bombay - 400 049. India.

    I would like to enhance my collection of reports, articles, papers, theses/dissertations, books, conference and seminar talks, etc that deal with the topic of machine translation post-editing (for all languages).

    Copies of bibliographies of works that contain, partially or entirely, discussions on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

    Please let me know if you can send copies of any talks and papers that have been presented but have not been published. Complete reference information (and ordering info if you have it) for all published works would be helpful.

    Thank you in advance for contacting me with information that you may have.

    Regards,

    Jeff Allen

    Subject: Computer/internet use of language in everyday English


    Dear Linguists,

    I'm a university student in Hungary, and I'm working on my thesis at the moment: it is about how computer/ internet "jargon" influences the everyday use of English. (The migration of computer/internet terms into mainstream language/culture.)

    If you youself use computer metaphors, idioms, jargon or slang ("I have to reboot", "I must back up my mind to disk", "My mind is formatted", etc.); or have heard somebody say such expressions, please send them to my email! (WHO said it -profession- might be useful.)

    Books, websites or references that cite examples to what I'm looking for would also be of great help to me.

    My email address: stornofido.hu

    Any help is gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Attila
