Organisation profile

We specialize in the automatic or computer-aided analysis of large bodies of naturally-occurring language ('corpora') and we have a record of achievement of more than thirty years as pioneers in this field whilst remaining at the leading edge of computer corpus construction and analysis. Our work focuses on modern English, early modern English, modern foreign languages, minority, endangered, and ancient languages. We operate at the interface of corpus linguistics and natural language processing.
