    Dear all,

    Polderland Language & Speech Technology specialises in language technology.
    The company develops programs which give computers linguistic intelligence.
    We research and develop new technologies using linguistic principles.
    At the moment, we are developing a tool for Finnish, for use in search engines.

    We are looking for a native speaker of Finnish, who can help us.
    We need the speaker of Finnish for:
    - Testing the (linguistic) quality of the tool by comparing input and output.
    - Gathering electronic texts serving as test material.
    - Linguistic support.

    The testing of the tool will take place from 1 November 2002 till half
    December (weeks 45 to 50). In the first week, we will need the speaker of
    Finnish for approximately 24 hours (three days work). After that, we will
    need him or her for linguistic support, answering linguistic questions.
    That will cost approximately 2-4 hours a week.
    We're looking for speakers of Finnish who have a (techno)linguistic
    background. He or she should be able to detect and solve structural
    linguistic problems in the tool. He or she should speak Dutch or English
    and have good communication skills. The work can be done locally, provided
    he or she is in possession of a reliable personal computer and e-mail
    facilities. Besides, we are looking for someone who can be reached easily
    and is able to react quickly. In addition, familiarity with computers,
    internet, search engines is a pre.

    Would you, as a speaker of Finnish, be interested in working with us on the
    Finnish tool?
    Or do you know people who could be a candidate for the job? If so, could
    you please forward this mail to him or her?

    If there are any questions, feel free to ask them.

    Thanks in advance,
    Marijke Koster
