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 short 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:

Sorry if you receive this more than once!
