The Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University offers four
concentrations leading to a MS and PhD in Linguistics: Theoretical
Linguistics,Sociolinguistics, Applied Linguistics and *Computational
Linguistics*. Applications are invited for Fall 1995 (application deadline:
February 1).
We offer a variety of courses in machine translation, neural networks,
computer-assisted language learning, and natural language processing.
Beginning in 1995-1996, we will also offer a focus on INTELLIGENT INFORMATION
RETRIEVAL, and applicants with an interest in this area are especially
encouraged to apply,as are women, minorities, and students with disabilities.
We anticipate having two or more fellowships open in the Fall for qualified
PhD students (stipend + tuition).
