A three week assignment in Iasi, Romania for an expert in computational linguistics.

All expenses will be paid for a volunteer to help the Romanians develop an electronic dictionary in Romanian.  This will help to keep their own language in communications technology.  Knowledge of how other European electronic dictionaries were developed using the CORPUS bank of English Linguistic Software Applications is necessary.

The visit would ideally take place in October, 2004 but a later date could be arranged.  This assignment might be an ideal basis for a dissertation and could be an excellent academic exercise in applied linguistics.
